Top 100 Music Albums of 2020 by Keatownrodriguez

What an odd year for music. It was definitely good but it was so far removed from my expectations of what I thought I would be listening to this year. I had no idea I'd be listening to Taylor Swift all the time or that Sufjan would drop a great album. Not to mention how many of my favorite albums are from artists I wasn't familiar with before this year. Lots of surprises and lots of great records.

Top songs of the year so far in no particular order

If you're too shy let me know - The 1975

My Rajneesh - Sufjan Stevens (WHY WAS THIS A B SIDE!!!!)

Betty - Taylor Swift

You'll Miss Me When I'm Not Around - Grimes

Kill Them With Kindness - Idles

Featherweight - Fleet Foxes

Cyr - The Smashing Pumpkins

Beginning Of The End - Weezer

Gospel For A New Century - Yves Tumor

Aries - Gorillaz

I'm a Joestar - Open Mike Eagle

Hand Crushed By A Mallet - 100 Gecs (Fall Out Boy Remix)

I Ain't Nice - Viagra Boys

I Want To Touch You And Be Sure - Asian Kung Fu Generation

Peace to all freaks - Of Montreal

Run - Joji

Come Over - Matt Watson

Hollow - From FFVII Remake

Come & Go - Juice WRLD

JU$t - Run the Jewels

Black Licorice - Peach Pit

Paradise Lost - The Used

My Own Soul's Warning - The Killers

At The Door - The strokes

This is a weird one because most of these songs are years old at this point but they're finally getting an album release, some already had EP releases but this all of their first time on a full length so I'd say It counts as a new album. It does still feel weird to have an album featuring Hoshi No Utsawa on my 2020 list cause I've been jamming to that since I was 13 am here we are almost 5 years later. Oh well, this band is amazing and so heartwarming. Like I said Hoshi Utsawa is an all-time great and you should check it out. This album also has a song that was used in the Japanese version of Pixar's Onward (zenryoku shounen), Seishun is beautiful, and Ah yeah is also a fan favorite so this album is an instant j-pop classic.

What can I say. I love this band to death and each of their projects stand as individual unique testaments of the band's love for all things music. This album just feels like everything good about music, it may be my second favorite project of theirs, and even if it was my least favorite of their it would still be very loved by me.

This is easily my favorite Strokes project and I just love the fact that a band that's been around for as long as them has the potential to outdo themselves so I have real respect for this project. It's basically a return to form at their peak that is aside from the inclusion of At The Door which I think is a big part as to why this album works so well. It acts as a centerpiece to the rest of the album in an amazing way. [First added to this chart: 03/22/2020]

Wow what a surprise! Taylor decided to give her ego a backseat on this album and let’s her gift for lyricism shine for the whole record. Such vivid warm imagery on each track with equally pleasant instrumentation to complement it. Definitely give Betty, August and The Last American Dynasty a listen then the whole album of you enjoy those tracks [First added to this chart: 07/28/2020]

Love it when a band comes out of nowhere and gives me an album that I adore front to back. It's pure bliss and happiness. Black Licorice, Brian's Movie and Figure 8 have been non stop listens for me since the album's release. [First added to this chart: 04/04/2020]

It took me a while to really like this album just because usually my first few listens to albums are very causal. Usually, I'm either going to bed, cleaning the house, driving, or just doing anything instead of just sitting down and listening to the music. At least for me, this is an album that has to be focused on at least your first few listens. Having it on in the background it just sort of comes off as standard indie fare. But when given the proper attention it deserves you can see just how masterfully indie tropes are used here. DVD Menu + Garden Song + Kyoto work great as laying the groundwork for the combinations of descriptive lyrics and distorted softness although I do wish the horns and similar instruments used in Kyoto were more prevalent. The rest of the album does tend to mill a little in a way that's not as amazing as the start but there is so much to love in the seemingly aimless. Of course, there's the closing track that brings back the bombastic emotion. [First added to this chart: 07/03/2020]
