Living proof!

Dangit, mine also comes from
October.

Does it count that it was supposed to be released early in 2020 and got delayed due to Covid?

There are so many nice recordingsā€¦

Iā€™d choose the following for its brilliant interpretation and outstanding recording quality.

And I did listen to it countless times.

It is something special. This and Skeleton Tree remains a hard listen for me though.

I almost put this as number one - it is my most listened to album of the year

Looks like this is currently No 2 in poll behind Bob Dylan as not much convergence.

Still McCartney III is due out in December and everyone has forgotten Fantastic Negrito.

Got to pick one!

So many good albums to choose from. I see both Mojo and Uncut have gone for Bob Dylanā€™s album as the best of the year and very fine it is too. @AndyP is correct, Iā€™d forgotten about Fantastic Negrito! There have also been fine albums from Frazey Ford, Craven Faults, Jason Isbell, Six Organs of Admittance, The Necks, Destroyer, Waxahatchee and Drive By Truckers. There are other contenders, but Iā€™ve not had chance to hear them yet. If pushed though, one album has stood out for me:

The self-titled album from Bonny Light Horseman. Tremendous.
