Adam's Top 20 to 11 Albums of 2018
Following up with our last post, we've got a list of Adam's Honorable Mentions! Over the weekend, when Adam and I got together to talk and record, a lot of these picks legitimately shocked me. Shocked at how much he ended up really enjoying a couple of the following albums and also shocked at how "low" some of these ranked for him by the end of the year. But one of the great things about talking about music with Adam is that he does a great job of justifying and making a claim for the albums that he does and doesn't enjoy. For the following albums, you'll not only get to see their numerical rankings, but also Adam's personal thoughts on each entry as well as his final score. Please enjoy "Adam's (Hey, Mike, THIS Is How You Were Supposed To Rank Your Honorable Mentions For The Past Seven Years, You Ignoramus. You Can't Tell Me That 40+ Albums Are ALL Your Honorable Mentions And You're Just Picking And Choosing Which Albums You Wanted To Highlight On The Episode Just Because. God, Sometimes I Don't Know Why I Put Up With Your Lazy And Unprofessional Dumb-Ass. But Since You Actually Ranked Them Correctly This Year, I'm Willing To Give You Another Chance Going Forward. But If You Slack Off One More Time, We're Fucking Done Professionally, Bro! I Will Use Every Resource I Have To Ruin Both Your Personal Life And Your Podcasting Career. Oh, You Think I'm Joking?! Just Try Me, You Chronic Waste Of Sperm And Egg! I'm Not Fucking Around. I Take This Shit Very Seriously. Speaking Of Which, I Know That You Purposefully Ruined And Trashed The Episode We Recorded Over The Weekend Where We Talked About Our) Top 20 to 11 Albums of 2018"
Mike's Top 20 to 11 Albums of 2018
Hello again, friends and Skinn-heads. Mike here. As some of you may have heard, our episode we recorded for our Honorable Mentions/Top 20 to 11 Albums for 2018 had to be unfortunately discarded due to poor audio quality. Adam and I still want to share with our listeners and friends some of our favorite albums of this year so we decided that this format would be a decent way to do so. Below you'll find out which album I greatly enjoyed in 2018...but less so than 10 others. These are ranked in a completely subjective order of my own personal enjoyment, so please take them as they are. So without further adieu, here is my "(Okay, Adam, I'm Finally Going To Put A Little More Effort Into This 'Honorable Mentions' List By Ranking Them In An Order That I Actually Enjoyed Them…Which Means That This Is Going To Be Less Of An Honorable Mentions List and More of My) Top 20 to 11 Albums of 2018"
Top Albums with Naked Ladies and Implied Nudity of 2018
With 2018 quickly coming a close and many albums we've listened to come and gone, I think it's about time to highlight something that means a lot to us, as music fans. Something that is most important to us when considering which albums we want to review. Of course, we're talking about albums that have naked ladies on the cover! 2018 was a great year for implied nudity on album covers and because of this, we'd like to highlight which albums are the best according to our crack-team of experts and album nudity professors. The following are 8 of the best in terms of nakie-ness and how these boobies and butt-butts affect the music they are trying to sell.
We are grown men. Enjoy!

The Skinny's Listeners' End of the Year Lists of 2017
Hello, everyone! Mike here. As you may have heard, we originally recorded an episode in which we went over and discussed all of the end-of-the-year lists that you - our listeners - had sent us over the last several weeks. Regrettably, the audio from that recording was un-usable and we were not able to put out that episode which originally was more than two hours long. Because of our busy schedules and limited recording time, we won't be able to re-record that session.
One thing that we will be doing in the near future is invite back the special guest co-host, Dave, who joined us for that episode. He's a long-time listener of The Skinny and the co-host of another music podcast that Adam and I really enjoy listening to called Ian Hates Music. Please go check out that show if you enjoy what we do but would like a broader reach and a wider range of new music recommendations. We will definitely get Dave back on our show sometime soon, probably for a full album review, sometime soon.

So because of that, and because I don't want to leave those lists just sitting there in our inboxes, I wanted to share those lists along with links to some of the music so that everyone reading this will get to listen to some of these great and interesting album recommendations.
The main thing that I took away from reading these lists was how divided certain albums were. Albums from artists like PVRIS and Being As An Ocean were ALL over the place in terms of rankings - with some people placing them in their Worst Albums list and others putting them firmly in their Best Albums of the Year. Not only that, but I love how passionate and eloquently our listeners were in explaining their thoughts and their opinions. I think it's great how we are able to clearly state our personal opinions and even how our listeners are able to disagree with us and some of our placements of some of the albums they felt were great, such as Sleeping With Sirens, PVRIS (again), Sufferer, etc.
Without further adieu, please check out what some of our listeners believe are some of the Best and Worst albums of 2017!
