Hmmm, the year is slowly ending and it's time for top lists, I see, ok, top 5 artists apparent in the image below. I had to stretch it to 15 to get to a metal band which I thought was appropriate.

Same had to be done with top albums list:

In conclusion, I should listen to more fucking metal next year.
 
Spotify Top 5:
  1. Talamasca [trance]
  2. Infected Mushroom [trance]
  3. Anoushka Shankar [Indian classical]
  4. Electric Universe [trance]
  5. Coph Nia [dark ambient]

List is out of date since I switched from Spotify to YouTube Music in August. I like the Spotify app better, but Youtube has basically the same music selection, with the added bonus of being able to watch videos without ads for paid sub. The video ads were what motivated me to switch - Youtube really ramped them up in the past year or two.

Another thing I don't like about the Spotify list is that two of the artists are background noise I listen to in bed, so most of the plays logged for them I wasn't even conscious for. Pretty sure Arcana would be on the list if I could filter out the time I was asleep. I also listened to a lot more metal and barely any trance after switching to Youtube.

Top 5 beer styles that shouldn't exist and we wouldn't lose anything of value.

1) Red Ale, because nobody cares, why would you even put such malts in an ale, goddamit
2) Black IPA / or "Cascadian Dark Ale", because if I want a coffee or roasted, I go porter, if I want chocolate malts, I go stouts, if I want hoppy ale, I go IPA, who cares about fucking black IPAs then?
3) Faro, don't go fucking sweeten my lambic pls
4) Extra Special Bitter, because who even fucking cares?
5) "Imperial Pilsner", Pils with >8%abv is nonsense, deal with it.

Are you talking Red IPA or Irish Red? Red IPAs are great, I love that spicy/biscuity malt against the piney, resiny hop profile.

Agree with the others though!
