    Not sure why the links aren’t embedding but they work.  A lot of honorable mentions. Fleet Foxes “Shore” was good.   Folklore was good. Reunions was decent.  I didnt dig Fiona’s album at all though. 

    I honestly spent a lot of time listening to older stuff. Discovering new things from years ago.  My top 5 is set.

    Can’t narrow it down to ten, but I’ll post it soon. I definitely know my favorite album, but the other 20 or so fluctuate 
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Lot of great records put out this year. Such a shame that the tours behind so many of these have been postponed or outright cancelled. 

    1. Gigaton - Pearl Jam
    2. Wildflowers and All the Rest - Tom Petty
    3. Straight Songs of Sorrow - Mark Lanegan
    4. Letter to You - Bruce Springsteen
    5. Love is the King - Jeff Tweedy
    6. Imploding the Mirage - The Killers
    7. Random Desire - Greg Dulli
    8. Local Honey - Brian Fallon
    9. Punisher - Phoebe Bridgers
    10. Serpentine Prison - Matt Berninger

    Honorable mentions to Earth by Ed O'Brien, Waterfall 2 by My Morning Jacket, Homegrown by Neil Young and the Summerteeth box set by Wilco. Little Bastards by The Kills is also worth mentioning, even though it just came out Friday.

    EPs by Kurt Vile, Avett Brothers and Black Phoebe are also solid.

    1. Pearl Jam, Gigaton - just because it's obvious doesn't make it less true
    2. Run the Jewels, RTJ4
    3. War on Women, Wonderful Hell
    4. Taylor Swift, folklore
    5. Bob Dylan, Rough and Rowdy Ways
    6. Sarah Harmer, Are You Gone?
    7. Kathleen Edwards, Total Freedom
    8. Jarv Is, Beyond the Pale
    9. X, Alphabetland
    10. Painted Shield, s/t
    1-5 are in order, 6-7 are both in the top 10 but might not be in that exact position, the other three could've been swapped out with My Morning Jacket/The Waterfall II, Paul Weller/On Sunset, Bruce Springsteen/Letter to You and Gord Downie/Away is Mine. I'm honestly not sure I like Gord's album, but the fact it exists is a miracle.

    If so then add the Pleased to Meet Me boxset to my list.  The Replacements are the greatest
