For me, it was a rollercoaster just like for everyone else....but...music helped me navigate this really strange year. This is my list scribbled down on a pad. I definitely have a favorite album, but the rest would vary depending on mood, state of the world, quarantine situation and whatever else was going on.
That being said, I think I have a consistent #1. I listen to this album (& talk about it) all the time. (Just ask my amazing wife, Laurel. ) My #2 is solid because it's one of the best albums of all time and this reissue gave us all a glimpse of what else they were working on at that time. After that, it simply depends on the variables listed above. Be well, be safe and wear a mask! Can't wait for 2021 and hope you're all doing well! Ok...here we go.......

3) Hotel Mira - Perfectionism (check out their song: This could be it for me, if you like that you will love this album)
4) Nothing But Thieves - Moral Panic (weird how an album made pre-pandemic has so many themes relevant to it. The singer has phenomenal range and the music matches it)
These four albums will forever remind me of Corona lockdowns.
Gigaton 9-months-in has already aged way better than LB or selftitled ever did to my ears during the same time measurements. Once the initial excitement wore off on those albums i never wanted to revisit them much. Gigaton is still a go to album in the car or in the gym. Had it back on the turntable the other day. So thats been a nice surprise from a 30 yr old band.

Completely agree. Really solid album and just so good.

I've got a feeling I'm missing something...
Foy Vance dropped ’Hope in the Highlands’ just before Christmas (the soundtrack to a PPV online show) and it is quite beautiful. It easily makes my top 10, maybe even top 5 if I can stop listening to Neil’s Archives II long enough to really appreciate it

I do—and play it all the time. Sounds great!
Great. I just got it today, and looking forward to spinning it.

I just really don't listen to current music so a lot of my favorites are older bands new releases.
