Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted December 3, 2020 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 3, 2020 A little crossover with @jazzygeofferzwith one notable exception. Here, let me save you the trouble: #BringBackDownvotes In all seriousness, I'm absolutely certain Coldplay isn't my most listened. It's been John Williams for five years running, and I don't think that's changed. It named a Coldplay track I don't know as my #1, got my podcast listens completely wrong too, something odd is going on.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's discuss in the future over some plain Dairy Milk and Ready Salted crisps at a Lib Dems conference in Surrey. #ChokeOnYourDownvotes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted December 3, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 3, 2020 It was a little skewed because I have a playlist I'd been using to fall asleep, and only two or three albums downloaded on my phone - when I'm out, I do most of my listening on a knackered old iPod with terrible battery life, and I just keep a few things on the phone as a back-up. My number one artists were; 1. Johnny Clegg 2. David Bowie 3. Tom Waits 4. Savuka 5. Sparks That's definitely skewed by a best of Clegg/Savuka being one of my downloaded albums, and one Clegg song being on the sleep playlist, though I do listen to him a lot. Bowie and Waits are in a similar spot, in that they're in constant rotation, but probably wouldn't have made the top 5 list otherwise. Sparks I have listened to a hell of a lot this year - and most years, admittedly - but the new album definitely had them high on my list. Top songs were; 1. The Long Winters - The Commander Thinks Aloud 2. Johnny Clegg - The Crossing (Osiyeza) 3. Johnny Clegg - Love In The Time Of Gaza 4. Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind 5. Nick Drake - River Man Which were allĀ definitelyĀ a result of the sleep playlist. Ā Top genres were; 1. Dance Rock 2. Alternative Rock 3. Folk Rock 4. Chamber Psych 5. Rock Ā Which is impressive, as I couldn't tell you what Chamber Psych is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I don't have Spotify either, but it's obviously the same piece of classical music that's my most played every other year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rule One Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 8 hours ago, Statto said: An Alan Carr lookalike who used to be a bank teller, a fact I also enjoy. I'll always remember the first time I heardĀ SPATBB - was riding through rural Alabama to the liquor store in my buddy Beau's vintage Chevy Z28, he stuck the aux cable in and said "Check these boys out". Having been brought up on Muscle Shoals soul by my mum, it was like a warm hug. Love thatĀ SPATBB continue that tradition of the best soul music being performed by Alabamian country boys. I saw Colter Wall that same trip, playing 3 songs on the bill of a charity gig in Nashville. This would have been September 2015, so about 18 months before his first full-length album came out. His manager at the time is an acquaintance of mine so briefly met him that night, recall him coming across as exceptionally shy both in person & on stage. I'm very jealous that you have got to see them both. SPATTB were supposed to be doing a tour over here this year until things went tits up. I'm hopeful that when things start to pick up again that they'll come over and I'll be first in line to catch them.Ā I'd love to see Colter live too but I fear that may take a trip to America to do so. I'd would have loved to have been a spectator when he played the Music City Roots gig in 2017. I imagine his voice to be even better live.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted December 3, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 3, 2020 Blinding Lights is my most listened to track this year by a country mile. most listened to album is My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Hamilton - Broadway Cast. Because most of my listening is now podcasts when I go out on walks. Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My top 5 was: 1) AJJ 2) The Felice Brothers 3) John Prine 4) The Avett Brothers 5) The InterruptersĀ Ā Notable exemptions would be Colter Wall and the Dead South, I think I listened to both a hell of a lot in 2020 so I am not quite sure how they missed out.Ā It's also the first year since Spotify started doing these reviews that NoFX wasn't my number 1 artist and this yearĀ they didn't even make my top 5 so I think I need to give them some more love next year.

Moderators neil Posted December 3, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Top 3 albums of the year: 1. Protomartyr -Ā Ultimate Success Today 2. Osees -Ā Protean Threat Tied for 3rd. Idles - Ultra Mono. Fuzz - III Ā I can't insist more strongly about the Protomartyr album, its outstanding, their best work, and perfect for 2020 Edited December 3, 2020 by neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted December 4, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 4, 2020 @Zebra Kid MarkĀ I think the reason NoFX snuck onto my top 5bwas because my friend got me a ticket to go to see them at Slam Dunk this past May, but obviously things precluded that and I'm not entirely convinced it'll happen again this May yet. I usually give them a good listen, so they'd normally be in my top 10. My routine for the week tends to be that I'll listen to the Discover Weekly playlist on my way to and from work on a Monday, Completely Unnecessary Podcast on a Wednesday and Sequelisers on a Thursday or Friday depending on when they decide to release a new episode, then other stuff around it. That Discover Weekly can be a bit of a joke sometimes. Last time I had it on it suggested I "discover" Daft Punk. One week it also "recommended" 2 Soulwax songs, and one of their remixes.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators neil Posted December 4, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 4, 2020 Protomartyr are post-punk most often compared to The Fall.Ā Osees is garage rock with a psych and progressive slant on that album. Idles straddle the post-punk/punk/noise line. And Fuzz are a based power trio, music media tend to refer to them by the awful "proto-metal" tag, but its pure riffs to the face.
