best of Pink Matter's Best Of 2018 | Albums: 25-1 | FINISHED

[Pink Matter]

Hey you guys! I know this one’s a late start much like last year, but better late than never, right? I’m happy to present to you all my Best Of 2018! You guys know how this is going to go down already but I’ll be posting lists of all things music related from this year. My deadline was from the beginning of January till around the last week of November but that’s kind of a loose rule as I came across some music within the past couple of days that I felt deserved some recognition. It seems the general sentiment was that 2018 wasn’t that good of a year. Though I don't necessarily agree, I want to bring to your guys’ attention the music that I enjoyed quite a lot!

 

I'll be posting around 10 EPs that I enjoyed this year (just about the only ones I've listened to this year ), about the same number of videos that I've watched and enjoyed this year, the albums that I thought were disappointments, my top 100 songs with 10 HMs, and my top 50 albums with around 20-30 HMs.

I hope you all enjoy!

 

Edit: I will also be doing a Best New Artist section this year to highlight a few artists that I discovered over the past year that I feel have lots of potential to grow and become great artists but also have put out material that impressed me a lot.

Talent On Drugs destroying

The talent that they have they really did that didn't they?

[Wicked]

KRIT really did that

 

War on Drugs, wow the universal acclaim. I keep thinking people stanning BROCKHAMPTON is some type of meme... Just cuz I never heard people talk about their music. Just their aesthetic. 

[Tsareena]
