The Top 10 Music Albums of 2018 and more

With 2018 well behind us I thought it would be a good idea to have a quick look back and highlight some of the best that might have been overlooked.

This list does not include the top sellers, but rather the ones that never received much media hype, and some of these are actually better than most of the best sellers that do get the hype.

Many of these can be streamed from YouTube for free and you can save the album's playlist to your list of favorites for repeat listening. You can try them out and then buy what you like from Google Play - Amazon - Apple or possibly someplace else.

Here are some of the best albums to have come out this past year. These vary from new artists to some older artists and are just a small sampling of great music to have come out in 2018. Many of these are the ones the did not chart well and have gone under the radar. Don’t be put off by that, check out these albums and you may discover something new.
