The Tori Amos/Joni Mitchell comparison moved into the later part of both careers. In the case of Tori Amos that didn't stop me from listening to other albums, too. In the case of Joni Mitchell, it meant listening to albums I hadn't heard in over 5 years. I definitely should listen to Turbulent Indigo more often than that, as I think it's a strong work.


Elsewhere, there's... well, not that much. You know how it is, December gets busy.

---------------------------

Right, I can finally tally up the albums for the whole year.

*presses filter options on spreadsheet*

115 regular albums, a couple of "best of" compilations, and one single (Saint Lo played to death in the latter part of the year).

Better than last year! A bit. And right on what looks to be the long-term average. I suspect anything much higher would require a specific focus and a move away from the classical music.

So... welcome to 2018.
