I most probably didn't hear any new song released this year.

No, wait, I heard the new Thom Yorke songs. So that one's the best of 2018

My pick for Album of the Year is Heaven and Earth, Kamasi Washington. It is another stunning musical achievement from a great artist.

My pick for Song of the Year is "1985 (Intro to the "Fall Off")," J. Cole. The "Stakes Is High" for the current hip-hop generation.

Other Favorite Albums

Ventriloquism, Me'Shell Ndegeocello

Hive Mind, The Internet

Oxnard, Anderson .Paak

Other Favorite Songs

"This Is America," Childish Gambino

"Bounce (Burbank Funk)," The Internet

"Don't Disturb This Groove," Me'Shell Ndegeocello

"King of the Hill," Thundercat (f. Flying Lotus)

"Tints," Anderson .Paak (f. Kendrick Lamar)

"Make Me Feel," Janelle Monae

They pulled Billy's money quote from Purple Rain and made it the title of their album?

living colour is the only thing comes to mind

What's the difference in that and performers who named themselves from movies & TV shows like Fine Young Cannibals, Black Sabbath, BR5-49, Duran Duran, Method Man, Wu Tang Clan, Faster Pussycat, Blue Meanies, Luke Skyywalker, Molly and the Ringwalds, etc.?

Albums in no particular order

Kaycey Musgraves (Golden Hour)

Janelle Monet (Dirty Computer)

newcomer pop album - Camlla Cabello (not a one hit wonder)

Favorite releases

Tom Petty box set (American Treasure) - Not perfect but the Estate should study this possiblity.

Beatles (White Album Box)

Guilty Pleasures

The Greatest Showman - Soundtrack - technically a 2017 release but best selling album on 2018

A Star is Born - Soundtrack - even like the Bradley Cooper cuts

Johnny Marr - Call The Comet

Hey, nothing man -- I LOVE IT!

i didn't like much this year. but hey, nothing new there

the few albums that i have listened to more than 10 times and would actually say i love, are:


01. negative capability - marianne faithfull

02. beyond the end - ed harcourt
03. heaven and earth (+ the choice) - kamasi washington

the first two of which were released in the last few months even. yet they are so brilliant,
both of them. i'm chuffed to bits with them and listen to them constantly.

before that, the whole year was just one meh release after the other, except for kamasi,
which was as good, if not even better than his previous album and ep.

everyone else's albums disappointed me, even the ones i was looking forward to, a lot. there
were quite a few cool songs tho. but end of year lists are for albums, to me, so i'm not going
to do a list of songs.

Vintage Trouble ~ Do Me Right / Mitchell Coleman Jr. feat. Ralph Tresvant ~ I Can't Help It

Esperanza Spalding ~ With Others / 12 Little Spells

Album of the Year- Daytona by Pusha T (even though MAGA-Kanye did the beats and worst album cover of all time)

Song of the Year- Crew by Goldlink

Truthfully I didn't think mainstream 2018 had many hot songs as 2017 but my list is based off of mainstream radio hits.

Top 5 songs

Bruno Mars Finness (this is just a fun feel good song.)

Jhene Aiko Sativa (this song you have to BLAST this in your car, slightly turn up the bass)

Khalid, Normani Love lies

Ella Mai Bood up (fun summer memories of going to the lake and taking my 2 mile walk)

Hasley Live with out me (I just got into this song not long ago, its catchy and hasley is cute)

The only album relased last year that intrest me was Mariah Carey Caution (her released singles I did not feel were as strong as the other songs on her album) and Nicki Minaj Queen

Tracks
