Here we go with my list :)

1 Angel - Risen
A fantastic album from the seventies glam rockers -plenty of singalong hits, almost better than their albums from their heydays. Best album comeback of the year.
2 Sons of Apollo - Live with the Plovdiv Orchestra
Each release of a live album from that city in Bulgaria is a gem. This one really is awesome with some very nice covers. Excellent performance.
3 Samantha Fish - Kill or be kind
Samantha always brings new ideas in each of her albums. Very nice surprise once again. I'm just in love with her I guess.
4 Neil Young - Colorado
Well just because when it's Neil with Crazy Horse... everyone just has to listen. No comment.
5 Creedence Clearwater Revival - Woodstock
How did we have to wait 50 years to get the best CCR live concert ever ?
6 Boston - Uptown Amphi 2014 Live IEM recording
It's of course on Soundaboard that you find the best boots in the word :)
7 Nazareth - Loud'n'Proud The box set
Magnificent box set including full discography and much more at an available pricing. Great gift from the Scots.
8 Eivor - Live in Torshavn
On a rainy dark afternoon, listen to such music and you'll feel much better.
9 Kim Wilde - Aliens Live
Never would have thought Kim could rock and put out a really enjoyable concert double CD. Nice and enjoyable.
10 Hubert Felix Thiefaine 40 ans de chansons
Just because he's the greatest French contemporary poet. Just listen to the song Karaganda (and google translate the lyrics). Subject is Stalin's goulag camps.

My son just offered me the Pixies album. Great album indeed. Very nice sounding !

Derek, I loved the Eivor album and in particular the song Salt.
Now 'je vais ecouter' Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine's album after seeing some good youtube clips.

Glad I shared some music quite out of my usual musical journey (more into Rory Gallagher up to Motorhead) but such voice is angelic ! Full of emotions and serenity as we need it sometimes in this world.

And enjoy HFT (as we write in France), the greatest poet since Charles Baudelaire in my very humble opinion.

By the way, saw Steve Harley in Gistel - Belgium (nov2019). Quite an incredible and amazing songwriter too !
