2020 is finally coming to a close, and with it the biggest year of music discovery I've ever had. I spent more than a quarter of the year listening to music, and since it has come to be such a large part of my life I thought it would be fitting to write a blog on the best music I've listened to during this time. Because my goal is to listen to at least one new album every day next year, I will probably make another one of these at the end of 2021 as well. The vast majority of these are rock/metal so if you like those genres I strongly recommend any and all of these albums.

I hope you won't mind a couple other suggestions; Jimi Hendrix (how can you like rock, and not like Hendrix?), Robert Randolph (a modern re-incarnation of Hendrix, but with some gospel/soul elements...and he plays pedal steel guitar rather than a standard electric guitar), Bruce Springsteen (both a classic rock icon and a still-current living legend), Ben Harper, Living Colour, Lenny Kravitz, and The Who (their album Who's Next is one of my favorite rock albums).
