Here it is! –
As I disclaim every year, I’m not so arrogant that I believe that what we like/listen to is somehow the “Top LPS” of the year or as if I’ve heard every album that’s come out this year – This is simply the stuff that we listened to the most or got the majority of our attention this year.
So much good stuff – In a year seemingly doomed from the start & with so much loss & confusion in an infuriating political climate we looked to these artists for solace, joy & comfort more than ever.
Mixed it up a bit this year –
The following genres still have their own lists again this year –
Hip-Hop
Electronic/Pop
& the Main Top 20
but this year there is a new special list just for K-Pop! (check out our exclusive K-Pop mashup mix made just from songs from this year by DJ TrickyKid here)
Not to exclude them or make them somehow lesser than, just the opposite I did it to isolate and bring attention to them because looking at 40 album covers tend to blend all together at some point.
I hope you enjoy this, alot of these Year End lists I see tend to be dripping with agenda to show you how knowledgeable that are (or aren’t) This is just a fun list intended for use of reflection and sharing.
So without further ado… – I give you –
