Very impressed, Sammy. I don't recognise too much of this, which doesn't really surprise me, but there are familiar faces (technically names). Nice to see I'm not the only one here who loves both Kylie and Sigur Rós. The latters album name is one of the most beautiful I've heard in years, especially for those of us who can manage to understand it without translation ("With murmuring in our ears we play endlessly", I don't like the "buzzing" translation provided by Wikipedia).

Again, interesting and impressive, I couldn't tell which albums came out this year even if someone hit me over the head with them.

I have seven of your top fifty.

I really should have paid more attention to albums this year!

Thanks for putting this together. The depth here is awe-inspiring.

Looks like I missed a few this year.
