My favourite not-all-that-Christmassy song that it wouldn't really be Christmas without is Tar Barrel in Dale by The Unthanks. It's really more of a new year's song and it's certainly not very jolly. But it is very lovely, I think best enjoyed on a cold afternoon in mid-December, with a nice hot drink and a warm coat.

Spotify Wrapped and Apple Replay are out. Soon we'll start being deluged with annual Best Of lists like this one. It's that time of year!

What were your favorite listens this year? What new finds did you unexpectedly love? How did your tastes change/evolve (if at all)? What do you consider the best albums of the year? What did the critics get wrong?

Discuss any and all end-of-year music stuff here. Share your Wrapped/Replay/Last.fm/Listenbrainz summary if you'd like. Hype up that hidden gem you think deserves more attention. Anything goes!

I'd love to see live vs not live versions of your favourite music.

Here are some of mine.

Free Throw - Two Beers In. The crowd love this, and the intensity reaches almost scary levels.

Live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz7Wq0pqV_Q
Not live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNcc4PTZDAg

Skegss - New York California. Skegss look like the kind of band I want to watch live and the audience look like they're having a blast.

Live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOQdWSkeEZI
Official video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNFkrK54m8o

Wet Leg - Chaise Longue. There are loads of live versions and it's hard to pick one, but I chose this because the audience is full of women and they're fully into the performance. Hester and Rhian make it look effortless, and I love that they give the appearance of not caring what people think.

Live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTvUR940L5M
OMV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd9jeJk2UHQ

Title Fight: Head in the Ceiling Fan. Way too loud in a small sweaty room seems like the best way to watch them live. Overwhelmed by a wall of noise. The closest I got to something like this was either Jesus and Mary Chain in 86, or Wedding Present a bit later, and they weren't really comparable. (Although, I have tinnitus and I do want to give them all decent ear plugs because wow tinnitus sucks).
