It has become increasingly common for artists to release shorter groupings of songs on a more frequent interval, compared to the album-length paradigm the past.
Accordingly, I offer my list of BEST SHORT RECORDINGS from 2018. This list accompanies the main spunk rock list of best records of the year, found here:
https://joelspunkrock.blogspot.com/2018/12/best-of-2018.html
By "short", I mean records in a range from (about) 10 to 25 minutes in duration.
As usual, you can check out a sample from each record using these playlists:
