So it's the time of the year when I attempt to shoehorn my favourite songs from the last 12 months into something resembling a chart. An impossible task given that punk is very much still alive and kicking (not that the mainstream acknowledges it). There were so many great releases during 2018 that even this Top 50 is barely scratching the surface. If your band didn't make the cut, I'm only a (currently) unemployed 54 year old talentless nobody in Chorley so who gives a fuck what I think. If you did make the cut, congratulations and please feel free to share the chart around as hopefully your fans will discover other bands that they'll come to love as much as they love you. That's the sole purpose of this blog.... a bloke (me) shouting "check this music out, it's good!"
My Top 10 is pretty much my Top 10, the other 40 could easily have been in different positions if I'd have done this chart on a different day. You may have heard most of the bands and songs but if there's any you're unfamiliar with, check them out, their well worth it.
