It's that time of the year again when you name your favourite releases of the year (tbh some of you started circulating this tag as early as October iirc).
I'm not entirely convinced there should be an AOTY list. I mean there should be only one, not a list, but that's just me. Instead, I can name albums in different categories, and to satisfy most of you about the timing, one a day, Advent calendar-style - feel free to chime in and name yours.
There won't be too many surprises here, I've recommended most of the albums during the year.

#BestLiveAlbum: #PinkFloyd - Live at Pompeii - MCMLXXII

Mason's eternal quest for a crustless pie is continuing in 4k. And the young version of the Fat Old Man is still hotter than Mount Vesuvius - mucho gusta.
Minor thing to mention, but sound-wise this is so far the best mix of this album.

@yourfutureex I was arguing with a friend yesterday that Pink Floyd is funny because Gilmour was gorgeous when young and Waters was, well, very English-horsed-face, but getting old it went the other way with the bold fat old man vs. the slim charming shiny silver haired old man.
@mbr Yeah, having stubbles definitely added some positive character to his face 🤷‍♀️
