I’m sure you’ve all been waiting with baited badgers for the annual albums of the year run down. I’m afraid I don’t have the time or energy to do a daily rundown with downloads this year, and I’m not sure quite how I’ll present the top 25. But to whet your appetites, here’s the next 50 – albums that either didn’t quite make the top flight but were great anyway, or that I haven’t properly got into yet (can’t believe I’ve only just heard the Jessica Baliff album , for example). But even though they’re not in the top 25, all these albums are worth your time
