Tis the season! 🎅🎄🎶 Find out what albums from this year are “lush”, “evocative”, “varied but cohesive”, “have impressive range”, and “remind me of video games”!

@fritolaysia I rarely watch shows week by week, but I was sure this was gonna be one everyone on the timeline was weighing in on and having fun with. Haha
@HoeffnerJoe Very very thankful they got an easy single/rarity collection on their box set. I liked their albums fine at first but hearing Virginia Plain and Pyjamarama is what really set things off for me
what are all your most upsetting songs to find out were rerelease bonus tracks?
Buggles - The Age of Plastic not having Technopop is probably my mountain here. unthinkable
@paledave@mertonesque This has been a big casualty of my album-focused listening, I only went through Bowie's singles recently. Good reminder I need to do this for Costello... I wish more artists did "just the rarities" collections, and didn't bury them in general best-of comps.
@mertonesque Oh wow, I didn't realize that myself. I like that the US release stuck it as the first track. Reminds me of Skylarking not having Dear God but I think less people will complain there.
The Pretty Things' S.F. Sorrow not ending on Walking Through My Dreams is tragic. Half of late 60s UK rock could work here, I never understood the market reasons to not put singles on the album. (The UK LP of Procol Harum’s debut not having Whiter Shade of Pale... c'mon)
