Albums Of The Year 2019 – numbers 51 to 200
as chosen by writers & contributors to Louderthanwar – website
Compiling the Albums of the Year has become near impossible task with more than twenty contributors picking a completely different ten albums with barely any crossover… (Because so many different genres are covered and because we are scattered all over the UK and beyond). So these 150 odd are not in-order, and I’ve not even numbered them. They are all number 51 if you like.
The Top 50 will come later …. they are based on multiple votes and points – but all of the following are recommended by at least one of the Louder Than War Website ‘family’ of contributors. Highlighted ones link to the LTW review…. to begin with, but seek out the rest yourselves x
