What a weird year for concerts and livestreams for sure. Armin Van Buren and Zoe Keating live then covid hit and had to do everything virtual. Still got to see Local H again, Biffy Clyro, The Streets, and even These New Puritans livestreams. Not bad!
 
2020 TOP 10 ALBUMS
 
Google Taylor Swift
1. Taylor Swift - Folklore (7/24/2020)
Yes I really like the new Taylor Swift. It's more like The National featuring Taylor anyways. Who knew!?

Google Blaqk Audio
2. Blaqk Audio - Beneath The Black Palms (8/21/2020)
Every single song on this album is a masterpiece. I actually find it hard to listen to their older albums now that I've heard this one. Come out at night, our fish will bite, but they never hurt me. No, not in my sea.

Google Biffy Clyro
3. Biffy Clyro - A Celebration Of Endings (8/14/2020)
A brilliant album from a brilliant band! Love the part that sounds like Tool. Every song is fantastic!

Google Melody Gardot
4. Melody Gardot - Sunset In The Blue (10/23/2020)
If You Love Me... yes I do Melody Gardot! She is awesome and this album was so great! Even the song she does with Sting is good! I have got to see her live some day!

Google Agnes Obel
5. Agnes Obel - Myopia (2/21/2020)
I love everything Agnes Obel and Drosera is now my ringtone on my phone. It kind of creeps me out though when it plays in the album because it makes me feel like someone's calling me when it's just the song playing! She is amazing with anything she does.

Google Blue October
6. Blue October - This Is What I Live For (10/23/2020)
This album was just okay. Oh My My, The Weatherman, and Moving On were great. I wish the album was more concise. Home was my favorite of the newer Blue October albums.

Google Smashing Pumpkins
7. Smashing Pumpkins - Cyr (11/27/2020)
Cyr was awesome. My favorite Smashing Pumpkins album in a long time. Maybe my favorite Smashing Pumpkins album ever. I love every song and I love how different it is from anything else. So good!!

Google Roisin Murphy
8. Roisin Murphy - Roisin Machine (10/2/2020)
Not a whole lot on this album that will be memorable in the long run, but I did like a few songs as singles here and there. Something More and Murphy's Law were quite good.

Google Misterwives
9. Misterwives - Superbloom (7/24/2020)
I didn't like this album so much when it was released compared to the other ones but it's held up strong actually. Every song is amazing. Especially Why Why Why, Decide To Be Happy, Superbloom, It's My Turn, and Running In Place. They are becoming like the female Blue October kind of band for me. So good! I am glad I got to see them live twice since the next time they are coming through here it's just the 9:30 Club and that sold out super fast.

Google The Naked And Famous
10. The Naked And Famous - Recover (7/24/2020)
I love The Naked And Famous but they really changed as a two piece rather than full band. Sunseeker, about Alicia's dog, was a great track and video, and Bury Us also had a really great video. The older stuff is just better. I'm glad I got to see them when I did. They were so good live!

 
2020 HONORABLE MENTIONS
 
Google Theory Of A Deadman
1. Theory Of A Deadman - Say Nothing (1/31/2020)
Nothing good here anymore. What happened to this band?!

Google Local H
2. Local H - Lifers (4/10/2020)
I love Local H but Brian St Clair and Joe were better paired for Scott in my opinion. I'm not a huge Ryan fan. But I do love the songs Farrah, Turn The Bow, and Sunday Best. I wish the album was more like that. Also, I feel like Lifers kind of sounds like a political thing even though I know it's not. I guess I'll always have their older albums.

Google Fiona Apple
3. Fiona Apple - Fetch The Bolt Cutters (4/17/2020)
I just can't with this album. I tried!!

Google Moby
4. Moby - All Visible Objects (5/15/2020)
Did never really get into this one.

Google The Streets
5. The Streets - None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive (5/15/2020)
It's not like the old classic stuff anymore that's for sure! I did like the livestream this year they had though that was great!!

Google Kill Lincoln
6. Kill Lincoln - Cant Complain (8/7/2020)
I really like the first half but can't seem to get into the whole album sadly. Still cool to have new Kill Lincoln, I guess!

Google Telepopmusik
7. Telepopmusik - Everybody Breaks The Line (9/25/2020)
Why did I bother?

Google Squirrel Nut Zippers
8. Squirrel Nut Zippers - Lost Songs Of Doc Souchon (9/25/2020)
I was really looking forward to this one but seriously can't seem to get into it! Blah!

Google Faithless
9. Faithless - All Blessed (10/23/2020)
I really wanted to like the new Faithless album but without Maxi Jazz it really shows. I'll stick with R+ instead!

Google Matt Berninger
10. Matt Berninger - Serpentine Prison (10/2/2020)
I just can't get into this solo CD. It seems The National has run its course of amazing albums and this sadly doesn't get included for me.

Google Phil Kominski
11. Phil Kominski - Phil Kominski (10/6/2020)
Proud of Phil for releasing a solo CD, but not much on here I would listen to on a regular basis, sadly.

Google Love Ecstasy Terror
12. Love Ecstasy Terror - Love Ecstasy Terror (10/31/2020)
Pretty forgettable album and he didn't even add Natalie on it which is my favorite track! Ugh! I miss She Wants Revenge already!!
