The countdown continues!
#20 
This is the best funk / Afrobeat record I’ve heard in a long time. Golden Dawn Arkestra will get you moving and possibly transport you to another dimension.
#19 
I happened to catch Ron Gallo at a show in Fort Wayne and was glad I did because his RG3 EP is one of the best EP’s I’ve snagged all year. I need to get his full album pronto. He plays a neat style of garage blues-influenced rock.
#18 
Morphine is one of my favorite bands of all time, so it’s no surprise that I was going to love Vapors of Morphine, which includes two of the band’s original members and a new singer and bass player performing glorious low rock and blues.
#17 
There’s no way an album by Goat wasn’t going to be at least in the top 50% of albums I’d like, and Requiem is full of their usual weird voodoo rock. It’s mellower than previous releases, but still trippy.
#16 
I discovered the new Cosmonauts record late in the year, and I’m glad I did because I think they’re going to be one of my new obsessions. A-OK! is full of neat psych-rock and shoegaze. I’m all in if you can combine those two genres.
Who cracks the top 15? Come back tomorrow to see!
