To Become A Musician

Top 10 Favourites From 2016

I can't end the year without listing my favourite 10 albums from this year now can I?

It's been a great year for new music and I've discovered so many new ones to add to my ever growing list of influences.  Spotify has been a great tool for me in this journey and if I'm repeating myself then it's for a good reason but streaming is fun, buying is cool - to keep music alive, evolving, varied & fun we need to keep on supporting all artists especially the little guy.  Just a little.

Click on any image above to visit these brilliant artists and enjoy more of them.

So to it then, what are these masterpieces that tickled my fancy above all else..!? 

10) Paul Dempsey - Strange Loop
9) Birds Of Tokyo - Brace
8) The Last Shadow Puppets - Everything You've Come To Expect
7) St Paul & The Broken Bones - Sea Of Noise
6) The Heavy - Hurt & The Merciless
5) Sticky Fingers - Westway (The Glitter & The Slums)
4) Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dark Necessities
3) Slaves - Take Control
2) Congos - Egomaniac

And finally (and probably controversially)

1) Black Pistol Fire - Wake The Riot

Raw music at it's best - such a big sound from just two guys and so much variety in there.  Hugely fun album, highly, highly recommended.

    One fateful day I decided to get guitar lessons.  6 years later I'm learning four instruments and trying to become a musician and songwriter.  I set a five year goal (Aug 2021) to create a very special song for my 25th wedding anniversary and this is a record of my crazy journey, weird thoughts, strange doodles and unapologetic music obsession!  Enjoy!
