Spiritual guide to a very musical and probably sexless 2019.
Scores:
10 = Best ever, and probably thinking on getting it on vinyl
9 = Best of the year, will revisit frequently even on years to come
8 = Excellent, on heavy rotation this year
7 = Great, will re-listen one or two times
6 = Good, but won't listen again
5 = Worth a mention, but not for me
1-4= Not worth a mention so they won't be here
TBR = to be rated
