Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2018. Our next list is from substitute DJ Patrick Masterson. Chicago artists only for this list because life is too short to read more about The 1975. |

Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2018. Our next list is from substitute DJ Danielle Sines. In 2018 I listened to more female artists than ever, without even deliberately trying to do so. The ladies killed it this year! Here's my top ten & honorable mentions of 2018! |

Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2018. Our next list is from volunteer Eric Wiersema. 2018 has had its ups and downs but one thing we can all agree on is that it was a great year for music! This year I had the pleasure of reviewing over 85 albums for CHIRP's music department and listened to over 120 new albums this year in total. There was so much great new music this year and it has been very difficult to narrow it down to just 10 albums so here goes nothing... |

Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2018. Our next list is from DJ and Board member emeritus Mike Bennett. This is yet another year where I'm cognizant of how I simply don't have the time to listen to and absorb all of the music that I would like and love. And I listened to roughly 200 albums this year, at least once or twice through. These are the albums that I kept coming back to the most. |
