Top 16 Music Albums of the 2020s
by Junomoogmello 
Unlike my other charts, I don't see many albums being added to this chart. I don't buy many current albums because I honestly feel that musical creativity is dying. Anything I do buy will only be on vinyl because there is no ownership or tactility in downloading music.

Saw this tour and quickly went out and bought the album on vinyl. Hawkwind (Dave Brock being the only original member) still have it. Some excellent musicianship on this album.

This reminds me a bit of At the Edge of Light and I think I may need to listen to both albums back to back to see how close they are. I love the string/pad textures Roger King creates and the subtle introduction of exotic instruments which builds on the atmospheres. I hadn't realised the drum stool is occupied by someone else so it will also be interesting to compare the rhythmic differences between the albums. I will provide a further review when I compare the two.

Absolutely stunning album with several toes in the progressive camp. An album capable of bringing out goose bumps even on a warm day! Highly recommend to prog lovers.

This album was my introduction to Coldplay, therefore I am not comparing it to previous work. I really like it and will now work backwards for some of their earlier work.

Stunning album, spanning Norwegian Folk and dipping several toes in modern prog. Haunting vocal harmonies make this a very different listen for any prog lovers daring to move into quite different territory.

All credit to Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill, that they can still turn out albums like this some forty years after their heyday is quite an achievement. The album has quite a laid back upbeat feel to it. According to the sleeve notes, most of the instruments were recorded by Charlie Burchill. Berenice (an excellent keyboard player) is featured in photos but gets no mention in sleevenotes. Cherisse only gets a mention on three tracks. So in my mind, this is more a Jim and Charlie album, which is fine, but is does lack the energy of Walk Between Worlds Worlds or Big Music.

Quite different to my other entries in this chart. Sky’s vocal delivery is a massage to the soul. Not keen on the rap elements but they are few and forgettable. Musicianship and production is also excellent.

Excellent album, more comparable to some of their earlier work.
