    I was so impressed by the equivalent thread for 2017, that (with Conan's blessing) I've picked up the baton this time around.

    Which album(s) grabbed you last year?

    I'll kick off with "Lost In The Ghost Light" by Tim Bowness.

    Arctics LP is brilliant. Bit of a game changer for them.

    I would go for 'double negative' by low and 'an angel fell' by Idris Ackamoor. My favourite thing however was the previously unreleased lost album by john coltrane which is brilliant. Plenty more from last year too. I thought it was a strong year for new music

    A bit of Saxon is always welcome.
    From time to time I see a Biff lookalike tanking up at the petrol station near Barnsley hospital. Never quite sure if he's the genuine article..

    Not sure about Biff think he moved to Whitby after his french Chateaux burned down, Paul Quinn still lives in the area so I’m told . Still one of the best live bands around

    Loved Arctic Monkeys TBH+C but it’s DJ Koze - Knock Knock for me.
