Voor mijn gevoel heb ik al veel users heel positief gehoord over releases dit jaar (ik heb zelf nu ook al een top 5 waar ik andere jaren niet eens aan toe zou komen qua kwaliteit).
Opvallend: blijkbaar een goed jaar als het al zo goed van start gaat, want er komt voor mij nog een hoop moois uit denk ik en dan reken ik de onverwachte dingen uiteraard niet eens mee.

Ja, mee eens; ook bij mij is het de kwaliteit die me een lijst deed maken. Wat ik apart vind van andere jaren zijn de leuke nieuwe namen. Mijn eerste 4 zijn van artiesten waar ik tot voor kort nog nooit van had gehoord.

Ik hou het nog even bij een sterke top 5 ipv een iets minder sterke top 10.

1. Li Jianhong - San Sheng Shi
2. The Goslings - Occasion
3. LSD Pond - LSD Pond
4. Drive-By Truckers - Brighter Than Creation's Dark
5. Aaron Martin - River Water

Hoewel ik nu meer dan 15 platen heb beluisterd zit ik nogsteeds op een -spetter- te wachten. Vorig jaar kwam die al heel vroeg.

Dat heb ik eigenlijk ook. Wel een aantal mooie en interessante platen, maar het is nog even wachten op een knaller, hoewel er een aantal groeiplaten bijzitten,
