Best Of 2021

Another year end, another 50 albums to wrap up the past 12 months. The following are some of the albums that stood out to me most this year. This is not an objective "best of" list, just a few favourites in relative order, nothing to take too seriously. I've included a playlist below of every album listed here, as well as one with a select song from each. The songs chosen are just ones I think are good representations of their respectable albums. There's no links to these for obvious copyright reasons, though some are available on the band's respective posts if you want to check them out.

Please let me know what some of your favourites were from 2021, I'm curious to know what you've been spending the last year with. I say it every year, but thank you for continuing to come over to this blog. It's almost 10 years old, and it's hard to comprehend that there's still any interest in this thing. So thank you again, Merry Christmas, and I've got one more post to go before the years closes. Enjoy.
