Cooking Vinyl
Another hugely massive year for great music.
Of course, there's inevitably also still plenty of good music out there that I'm not even aware of yet - especially so in more recent years, what with the advent and rise of mp3 stores & online streaming services past & present, such as: Napster, emusic, 7digital, iTunes, Bandcamp, Spotify, Soundcloud, AmazonMusic, Deezer, Jamendo, JunoDownload, CDBaby, Boomkat, Bleep, Beatport, etc.
There's an absolutely colossal amount of good music out there.
Newly discovered music is always being added to these lists on a regular daily basis!
