OK, besides listening to those 11 “new” Floyd bootlegs, I’ve also been putting the finishing touches to my playlist of the year – a Spotify tradition since 1965 (check my profile). I may snoop around other people’s playlists for a week or two, but as far as I’m concerned, my work trying to find new music to fathom in 2021 is done. Turns out, at 107 songs long, this is the smallest of these playlists for three years. But it’s also one of the best. I honestly think I’ll be playing these songs for many years to come, and there’ll be very few that I look at in March and think: where ever did I dig that old shit out from? The big question, though, is whether it will beat last year’s record of 27 followers on Spotify. If you want six-and-a-half hours of pop bangers, askew indie, poppers o’clock dance and nu-pub rock in your life, then please like, share, comment etc. And, as ever, I’d love to know what I’ve missed; your own favourites could yet make the cut.

Cooking a big dinner for the boy coming home from Uni tomorrow so I’ll give this a listen then.
I have the albums from which 4 of those come and maybe another 4 that I might investigate but probably not. No reflection on your taste in music Martin just that Pop Music does nothing for me and hasn`t done anything since the 70`s.

It’s funny: I’m 50 now, but the 15-year-old me was a real music snob who had nothing but disdain for the what was in the charts. Now, I put that down partly to the era. The charts were pretty poor in 1986 – all po-faced Motown pastiches, US mallrat divas, Levis ad music, and later-period SAW – whereas now, if I put on Radio 1 (which I still do once or twice a year), I always hear something half decent.

I have also bought physical albums of over 20 new artists in 2021!
Here’s mine (actually my daughter’s) and not all songs are from 2021, but there is some amazing pop music around right now. Have no clue which albums most of these are on

Might be a flaw in your plan, Mr dai.
The link takes me to my own top songs of the year, which may be the case for everyone else..
Oops does this work?
