'tis that time of the year when the music experts release their "best of" lists for the year...
it was a tough year for not only the music industry but society in general with the whole Covid-19 pandemic,
live shows were cancelled worldwide,
albums due for release were put on hold due to the obvious lack of sales during this time.
some artists had to work remotely to finish their outstanding albums as opposed to work in a studio with others.
yet other artists who werent even contemplating releasing music this year found themselves stuck in isolation with nothing to do who decided to write and record during this time.
either way,
music was released and we all have our opinions what was good, bad or even ugly in 2020.
i will post my list at a later date but until then i will start to post lists from music publications.
feel free to post lists that you find or post your favourite albums of the year.
