Colin, Tracey, & Ian have somehow managed to narrow all of this down to 10 songs each and we present to you, dear listener, our longest episode yet as we discuss them at great length, taking in epic Russian drone, joyous indie pop, microtonal piano balladry, collosal post metal, underground hiphop and even zombie movie soundtracks.We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order.She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year.Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - Aigel, Бонд скнопкой, Maddie Ashman, Julien Baker & Torres, Beneath A Steel Sky, Ethel Cain, Cloth, Ex-Vöid, Samuel J Herlihy, Kathryn Joseph, Long Fling, Katie Malco ft Mui Zyu, Opeth, PATRIARKH, Prolapse, Rainbow Frog Biscuits, Rapt, Рожь & Tsarewitch, Norman Sann, Sigrid, Sleep Token, Alan Sparhawk & Trampled By Turtles, TMNV, Viagra Boys, Steve Von Till, Bryony Williams, Jessica Winter, The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die, Yeule, & Young Fathers.Find all songs in alphabetical order here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4PtWWu34jTavg5rKwPCHGb?si=ec41121b1e9d47c9Find our We Dig Music Pollwinners Party...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/IfYkvmpT0K37NZnaWkaFUoUf9PcCbt5b_YoCTc9jSaM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jZTQx/OThmZjE4NTAyOGY0/NmJmNTk5NjkyMzUw/MDdjOC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
