That was the year that wasn't

One last Spotify playlist for the year, perhaps ever - selections from our top 50 albums and as many tracks as you can find

With one post left this year, and that's about next year, may we extend thanks to everyone who's commented, got involved emailed, spammed* or otherwise enjoyed STN this year, quite a trying one all told, but with a few adjustments and (broadly) your help next year should just fly by in a haze of great music. Cheers, then.

* apart from that Chinese one that somehow left a load of text on every single post. Actually, not spammers. Fuck off, spammers.
