Top 20 Albums of 2020


For those of you that haven't seen it elsewhere, here's my Top 20 albums of 2020. I've added a link to a review of mine if I did one (Louderthanwar and one Under The Radar) and a 'Buy' link if there's a Bandcamp. Obviously, you'll be able to pick up most of these in your local record shop. And you should!

So, it's a belated happy new year from me and here's my top 20 albums of 2020...
