Great to see lists . I miss them. I love doing mine, but it takes me forever. Some of the selections I get for Christmas and a January birthday. At least I am getting something I want.
Perhaps a first half would get me started. Already heard some awfully good stuff.
Thanks Bill

Subject: Following up on Following up
I am actually making a first half list for my own sanity, as the last
few years have found me scrambling between Thanksgiving and Christmas to
catch up on things I missed and give purchases enough spins to make a
"best of" meritorious. Despite my ridiculous level of purchases since
childhood, I always miss something the year of...sometimes as egregious
as Matthew Sweet's GIRLFRIEND (which I was a few months late on) or THE
SET UP by the Boss Martians, which is still the best Elvis Costello
record Declan never made. (Seriously - "Oh Angela" could have Pete
Thomas lamenting "why don't I remember that session?"). Both lists are
on my all time keeper lists.
So hopefully, prefaced by a "Stalled Post To Audities" reply, I'll have
that here by mid-July.
In the meantime, quick lists of favorite cuts and albums from 2017,
where my favorite single BY FAR was "Fuck You, Brain" by Ginger
Wildheart and Ryan Hamilton. (Both notoriously suffer from clinical
depression, and all funds raised by that single are directed to a
foundation to assist people with that issue. Noble, yet astounding ear
candy.) The video on YouTube is as entertaining as the song itself
(links below).

My list(s) are not simply power pop - in fact a strong dollop of
folk/country/Americana permeates it - but worthy stuff regardless.
Seriously - when Cheap Trick, Cotton Mather, Todd Rundgren, Richard X
Heyman, Matthew Sweet, The Darkness, Terry Anderson and Neil Young all
miss the cut, that's a good year for music.
