Obviously make sure to hit up RYM yourself and search your favourite genres.

The deadline is 30th of November 2018.

The rules:
- submit at least 5 releases.
- first place in your rankings gets 10 points, 2nd gets 9, etcetc, 10th gets 1.
- feel free to post more than 10, but only the top 10 will get points.
- feel free to post less than 10, the same scoring will apply.
- feel free not to rank your picks, in which case all ten picks will get 5.5 points.

GNMD = General Non-Metal Discussion, so NO METAL ALBUMS are to be included in anybody's list.

 

[no country for old wainds]

here's my list:

 

[CiG]

Weird fucking year for non-metal, this should be interesting.

 

[challenge_everything]

Yeah the lists are gonna be all over the place.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

my list for this year is probably gonna be mostly rap.

 

[challenge_everything]

I can categorically say that mine will have no rap

 

[CiG]

My top 3 will be dominated by hip hop.

It’s not a good year when Unknown Hinson is a general contender. Went and saw him in concert once in a dive bar. Not 100% sure most of the people there got the joke, but it was good times.

[challenge_everything]

6 lists and 60 different albums so far?!?!

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Isn't Stangeitude 1991? I should listen to Waterfall Cities though, I think I heard it once or twice when I first discovered the band but I've always stuck with the earlier albums, if you meant to pick that album then we might have the first album picked by more than one person.

EDIT: Actually CIG already picked it as well

 

[CiG]

Yeah it is, he may have meant to list Waterfall Cities.

 

[challenge_everything]

Haha fuck. Not sure what I was thinking there, other than I had it playing a few days ago. Waterfall Cities is one of the few Ozric albums I haven't heard, so I can't even blame it on that. I'll edit my list later.

Sorry still no double nominations
