    I never get why magazines always publish end of year lists in December, thus missing out a whole month of album releases.
    Can I come back in January?

    Yeah fair point, but that month's releases are usually best of's, greatest hits or Christmas albums.

    December is usually always a quiet month for new album releases anyway, most artists usually wait until January rather than release an album in December.

    I will post a list later when I get home from work.

    Oh that Andrew Bird album is on my list too, that's gotten a fair few spins lately.

    I'm still going to wait until January, partly because reading all the end of year lists tends to bring albums to my attention, which I otherwise would have overlooked. Pitchfork and the Guardian's are usually good for that.

    Too early.

    Jeff/Gonzo/ Myself will start the thread at the beginning of December. Same as every year.
