Every song for this compilation was expertly chosen to show this artists' discography; Here are my personal highlights:
Things Behind The Sun,
River Man,
From The Morning (my overall favourite Nick Drake song),
Northern Sky,
Which Will,
Hazey Jane II
and of course, Pink Moon.
If I had to pick a least favourite I'd say Poor Boy - in the way that it makes me feel very uneasy!
This portrait of Nick Drake is sublime.

This marked an end to my innocence - for a couple've years, after being quite disappointed with this album, most of my music choices were mega sad emo vibes!

In less than an hour I am pummelled and bruised, but in a beat I'm then feeling sensual. That's my favourite kind of...
music, what did you think I was going to say?!

Maybe I had overly lofty expectations, given the title and cover's aesthetic. I was "fingers-crossed" hoping for a rootsy Joan Baez-ish sound; what we've got instead is not quite the musical statement I thought I was going to hear...
Buuuut folklore is definitely still beautiful to me, with heartfelt lyrics that aren't too topically contrived. This is quite well produced but, on the other hand, I find myself feeling a bit snoozy a few times, with the instrumentation being perhaps TOO ... read more

Hello there! My friends Joe and John just released their first track under the pseudonym ‘2jStreet’. The song is called ‘Came For This’ and I’m sure they’d really appreciate if you gave it a listen and a rating. Any feedback, good or bad I’m sure they would appreciate as well. Thanks. https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/264652-2jstreet-came-for-this.php

Thanks for your answer! I love that Ezra album too. For the one you asked me to choose, I will go for the Fleet Foxes record.

Hi man, I am working on a list and I would like to have as much views as I can. Here is my question, what are your top 3 albums from the last decade (January 2010 to dec 2019). I am not interest in what critics said or which ones were the most praised albums from that period, I want to know about your personal list. I will really appreciate your help. Cheers mate!

NEW & IMPROVED RATING SYSTEM IN PLACE - up to 87 0;3;5;7 are used.
90+ is scales of perfection, 83-89 is excellent & <50 is everyone else's <20 (My rating system is pretty kind to crap albums). Each numerical increment indicates quite a large boost in quality.
I try to rate albums with a healthy mixture of critical objectivity and personal subjectivity.
