The Motion Epic - Deep In The Heart Of America

Ultraboss - Yacht Master

Betty Who - BIG!

Ben Macklin - By The Way

Primo The Alien - Heart On The Run (Deluxe Edition) 

The Summer Set - Blossom

I'll have to do a deep dive into your list soon, but these would make list, too. That Betty Who album; holy shit! What a return to form!

Don’t know how some of these passed me by, especially stuff like The Motion Epic and The Summer Set, amongst others. Heard those two today, though, and delicious things happened in my ears. One I didn’t know about at all which was really nice was The Strike album. Thanks for the cold trout across the face, Mr.AOR.

Does that album have "Nothing New" on it, 'cause that's a fuckin' banger!

Yep, it’s on it and awesome. A lot of really good tunes on this one, though. ‘All the way’ was one that stood out early for me.

For me, it's 'Miles Ahead'. I just checked the top 15 songs of 2020 thread and this song is on my top 5 songs. What a song.

Yeah, not a bad album. Missing an outright killer cut for me, but all songs are smooth listening.

It ended up not sticking out to me, but it's nice. I prefer it to the Indigo album that followed a little while later.

Some other great albums none of you have mentioned:

Daddy Yankee - LEGENDADDY

Heilung - Drif

MUNA - MUNA

Soilwork - Övergivenheten

St. Lucia - Utopia

Tears for Fears - The Tipping Point 

[CureTheSane]

Not into C&W, but I am happy to like what is good.
Many just hate it full stop, but I am always open to it.

This song is #1 on itunes so I gave it a listen.
Not a bad song, but the message is great, we really need more of it to start to fix society.

I love Muna, they are one of my fave bands, but their lastest output didn't do much for me. It's still a good album no doubt but pales in comparison with their earlier works.

I like the Muna songs but struggle with the vocals

Yep agree not the best vocals but their music makes it up for it.

I've never been bothered by the vocals.

I’ll go as far as to say I actually like her vocals. I’ve been stupidly slow to hear the new one, but on previous efforts I find her vocals to be perfect for the songs she’s singing. Will check out new album tomorrow, finally.
