Whatever gets you through the night, man. It's a great thing about these lists that they are personal and somewhat idiosyncratic, but an even better thing about music that it can serve the purpose you've described. Here's to a 2021 that will get you back to that deep diving!
(I need to check out that Microphones album!)
oh for sure...it just hit home as the publications started releasing best of lists how little new stuff I efforted into. my shit's tight, though...I don't care about outside judgement.Whatever gets you through the night, man.

AND NO MENTION OF YVES TUMOR, JESSIE WARE, GORILLAZ OR FREDDIE GIBBS!!!
What even is this!?!?!
Yes!I have a hypothetical list done... should I just post it now and never look back?
Wait what!? No Lido Pimienta??? I'm hugely disappointed
I love Miss Colombia so much and obviously Lido Pimienta herself, but I thought to myself that not many people or anyone would even list that album in their year-end list! So like Kali Uchis and to an extent King Krule, I just didn’t want to list it!Wait what!? No Lido Pimienta??? I'm hugely disappointed
️️️️
She most definitely made my list and I have you to thank for it!I love Miss Colombia so much and obviously Lido Pimienta herself, but I thought to myself that not many people or anyone would even list that album in their year-end list! So like Kali Uchis and to an extent King Krule, I just didn’t want to list it!
The Freddie Gibbs x The Alchemist pick was the hard one. I didn’t know whether to put Against All Logic, Laura Marling or Fiona Apple in there. I think I’m gonna alter my list and award 5 points to Freddie Gibbs and 5 points to those three other albums!
Again, I love Lido Pimienta but I’m being strategic! I didn’t even put The Weeknd’s After Hours because I felt like the points I’d give to that album would go nowhere!
I know not many people have listed Lianne La Havas, Gorillaz and Yves Tumor, but just wait, more people will place those artists in their list!!!
Lido Pimienta though.......I guess it looks like you will list her which makes me want to list her too, but who else is going to list her!?!? Maybe @alspriet if he decides to participate in this, but apart from that...
Awwww although she’s not on my list, her artwork is #1 of the year from me!

Yeah, I agree with you and I also like seeing what else I’ve missed that ends up highly ranked on other people’s list!

I think because there’s points involved in this ‘megalist’, it makes me be strategic because in a sense we are voting as well. It’s like how you wouldn’t vote for a political party who you knew had no chance for running for government. Instead you just vote between the two main politics parties as you know realistically it will be between those two parties. I guess I see it in that sense when it comes to where I want to allocate my points.
If this thread was just a “Your favourite 10 albums of 2020”, then my list would be very different and Lido Pimienta and Kali Uchis would’ve made the list and Freddie Gibbs x The Alchemist wouldn’t have made the list!
In this megalist, you can list 5 albums or 75 albums. So I just want 5 albums I really like that I know will get mentioned a bit but not maybe too much, to get some Spotlight!

Yep!!! I haven’t done so yet but I’m well aware that I need to submit it by the end of this week. I’ve been planning my list and have been kinda keeping an eye on what’s on other people’s list!
Yeah, I saw their introduction into the rock and roll hall of fame and immediately ordered the Rhino version of Electric Warrior and kicked myself for sleeping on them for so long.
My favourite musical discovery this year would’ve had to of been Steve & Teresa’s “Catching A Wave”!
I also am so happy to have discovered T. Rex’s “Electric Warrior”, thanks to the hype surrounding the MoFi 2LP 45RPM pressing that came out early this year!
