The Top 40 Albums of 2018
Posted by Captain Beyond Zen on Thursday, December 27, 2018
2018 - The same procedure as every year: The Doom/Stoner/Psych genre still continues to flourish and grow. My way to show honor for the Doom/Stoner/Psych music scene is to publish my best-of-list. Be forewarned, this list is very subjective. There is no other influence on this list as my personal music taste and listening habits in the last twelve months. If you took notice of my monthly lists, there will be very likely no big surprise for you of my picks for this best-of-list.
