The year's coming to an end so the Nun staff have sat back, got comfy and taken a moment to reflect on the year in music that was; as you do. We've gone for three favourite albums and one favourite song - Flying Nun releases excluded (no bias here!). We've put the songs in a nice wee playlist and the rest are in no particular order, below.
Without further ado... 2023's BEST OF THE BEST:
