The Best Albums of 2020 So Far From A to Z

By in Articles | 9 Comments

I was considering putting together a list of my favorite albums (and EPs!) from 2020 so far today when I had a better idea! Instead of giving you my top 10 or something like that I decided to give you album for each letter of the alphabet! At least that was the idea anyway. It turns out finding an album for each letter can be a bit tricky (I’m looking at you Q and X!). The good news is was able to find artist for almost every letter who released an album or EP between January and June this year. So without further ado, here’s my alphabetical list with runners-up for each letter (when possible).

Are there RIYL for each of these? I don’t have Spotify and there are too many that I have never heard of!

I agree the overall musical sound/cohesiveness of Declaration is greater than Not Dead Yet, but for some reason it’s harder to listen to the former album in headphones (I think it has something to do with compressed audio…maybe the way it was mixed?).

Great list, BTW! Glad to see Dens and Tigerwine made it. Also, I just listened to Lightworker for the first time the other day–they’re new album has some killer tracks!
