As we all know, the Neptune Award is a bloated corporate farce, rewarding music of little or no value. In response, we'll be trying to shine a light on some other albums made by British/Irish artists that we feel are worthy of recognition. This year's shortlist:

Anohni - Hopelessness
Bat For Lashes - The Bride
David Bowie - Blackstar
Jamie Woon - Making Time
Kano - Made In The Manor
Laura Mvula - The Dreaming Room
Michael Kiwanuka - Love and Hate
Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
Savages - Adore Life
Skepta - Konnichiwa
The 1975 - I Like It When You Sleep...
The Comet Is Coming - Channel The Spirits
