This list of artists has made me chuckle. If I didn't know (only a very little) better you could easily have persuaded me this list was from 2007.

I appreciate consistency.
Is that in order? If so, even bigger respect for putting Shellac top.

you'd have got Underworld up to 13 and Bob Vylan would have got a dubious 49th, but otherwise.....

it really should have been higher in my list too. But so many great records!This is amazing! Would definitely have featured on my AOTY list if I'd listened to it before now

Good find, this is absolutely spot on bukemesque magic, perfect for winter too
Very impressed.... Proper detail in the drums too, not your usual copy and paste
Thank you!

They certainly used to be pretty popular on here, but seems I got into them just as everyone else went off them.
Maybe this is track of the year. It would win on title alone.

A crazy bulbous punchbag of sound
The Tim Reaper & Kloke album seems to be popping up on lots of end-of-year lists, and it's good, plus it gives writers something to write about - two big (within the scene) names collaborating, Hyperdub's first jungle album, etc. But The Cosmic Connection hits my Bukem-ish sweet spot and I've gone back to it far more, cos it's just excellent

jenny sparks album is the most joyful, funny and happy music I've heard in ages. It proper gave me a spring in my step first time I heard it. Definitely my album of the year.

I didn't realise that Kiasmos and Jon Hopkins have both released albums this year; both favourites of mine and both of whom would have featured in my list had I not been such a dummkopf.
