Came back and looked this over again and love some of the recent additions, especially love seeing someone else with love for Amyl and the Sniffers. Also my new #1 of the year and the decade so far, By The Time I Get To Phoenix... I friggin adore that album. I placed it top 10 of my overall chart. we shall see how long it stays but it feels right for now.

I also am happy I looked at this chart because you reminded me of the existence of the new Sturgill Simpson and you tipped me off to the new Ryan Adams, Dave and that Civic album and I added them to my dorky spreadsheet. so... thanks!

52 albums in common wowzers.

Great chart! and a few recs i've noted for myself. Listening to L.W. finally right now and its really cool. I've yet to have my moment with KGLW but I have always had or have had for several years a huge respect for their style and the fact that in this modern music lanscape they have managed to create such a truly unique place.
