Whether you know it or not, the only list you should care about every year is Iron Tom Sharpe‘s. If you only listen to 20 albums this year…make them these 20.
- Brant Bjork – Jacoozzi
- Steve Earle – Guy
- Opeth- In Cauda Venenum
- Death Angel – Humanicide
- John Garcia – John Garcia & The Band Of Gold
- Elder – Gold and Silver Sessions
- Queensryche – The Verdict
- Black Mountain – Destroyer
- Neil Young & Crazy Horse – Colorado
- Redscale – Feed Them To The Lions
- Frozen Planet….1969 – Meltdown On The Horizon
- Green Lung – Woodland Rites
- Tool – Fear Inoculum
- King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard – Infest the Rats’ Nest
- Ian Blurton – Signals Through the Flame
- Valley Of The Sun – Old Gods
- Jimi Hendrix – Songs For Groovy Children
- Villagers of Ioannina City – Age of Aquarius (Thanks Johnny Cheddar)
- Church Of The Cosmic Skull – Everybody’s Going To Die
- I concur with Meat…The Talking Heads are still the shit!
- Add Dream Theater (Distance Over Time)…just listening to it now again. It needs to be included.
Not a great year overall…nothing truly blew me away…these are merely ones that people should check out. – Iron Tom
I will have to check a few of those out, but the only one I listened to was Queensryche. A pretty decent release for them.

I keep seeing Dream Theater showing up. After I check out the bonus track situation there, I will be picking it up.

Same here. Have Queensryche and Steve Earle. And Neil. All of them are okey. Nice list!

I feel Queensryche, though good, is too safe for them. For their fourth album with Todd I think they need to stretch out and do something new. Not a cabaret, mind you, or even a concept album. Just something new. Since it seems assured that Casey is their defacto drummer now, let him write and have input.

I am a few albums behind on Brant Bjork, but that means I always have some Brant Bjork to buy.

Some good stuff on there for sure. I was underwhelmed by the Brant Bjork album, though.
