Your Top 5 Albums Of The Year


Gordon Comstock

Recommended Posts

  • Maggie Rogers Heard It in a Passed life
  • Willie Nelson Ride Me Back Home
  • Bruce Cockburn Crowing Ignites 
  • Tanya Tagaq Toothsayer 
  • Jenn Grant Love, Inevitable 

In no particular order. Missy Elliots EP Iconology would maybe replace Cockbruns album, but I wasn't sure if EPs are allowed. Regardless these 6 releases are some of the only ones I listened to all of this year anyways, along with Thank U, Next.

Bruce Cockburn, now there's a name I havent thought about in a long time.  His If I Had A Rocket Launcher was awesome.  "If I had a rocket launcher, some son of a bitch would die".  The guy knows how to get a point across.😄

I listen to an acoustic version of Rocket Launcher all the time - such a great song! He sure doesnt mince words, does he? :lol: Can you believe that this album is instrumental, no vocals. He said he felt that in such a time as this that words can just muck things up, so our great poet went silent. Luckily he's also a phenomenal guitarist :headbang:Somehow I still get the sense of who the rocket launcher is aimed at... :lol:

Oh, no doubt about it.😄 just curious, I know you're from Canada, are you a fan of The Band?  Those guys were amazing.  Richard Manuel and Rick Danko, awesome, and of course Levon Helm(he's actually from Arkansas). I never was a fan of Robbie Robertson's singing but his guitar work and writing were phenomenal.   Then you've got Garth Hudson with the carnival keyboards.  Love those guys.

I love what Ive heard. Robbie and Garth are the members that come to my mind first - those keys, man. Levon too. The entire band are so good. They certainly loom large here so Ive seen Last Waltz, the Classic Albums episode on them, and I own the Greatest Hits. But theres probably a lot that I havent heard, which I should remedy.

I don't think many people on here would be into the Free Nationals album but you might like at least one of those other albums.
