This time of year isn’t just the season of goodwill it’s also the season of “Best Of” lists and it’s part of the musical year that I love.

It’s always good to know that things you like are also enjoyed by others but the real joy for me is gaining new insight into albums I’ve enjoyed or discovering albums that I have missed.

My hope is that this episode will do some of that for you.

As in previous years I am joined by my Podcast pal Steven Routledge and we both talk through our Top 10 albums and play a short clip from each of them.

In this part we count down from 10 to 5 and in Part 2 (released on 29/12/22) we go from 5 to 1.

You can use 'Chapter Markers' to see our choices (they are shown as artist & album) and also listen to individual choices if you wish.

Please do let me know what you think of these choices and particularly if there is new music you like. You can do that by emailing me at musictalkspod@outlook.com , I really look forward to hearing from you. 

Have a great Christmas and here’s to 2023 being another great year for music.
