I've not heard any of them

I seem to be stuck in the past discovering stuff i never knew about and don't really go looking for new releases (at the moment).

So my top ten is empty. Sozo.

To be honest this ones 'good' but the previous one K2.0 is better.

I discovered a lot of 'new old stuff' this year,

So did I. Had a book for Christmas on late 60s and early 70s Prog. Discovered that a lot of good, not so well known, stuff had passed be by which I had not caught from the days when I was heavily into Glam Rock.
