Stereo Gum : The 50 Best Albums of 2020

The Stereogum staff, as well a a few key contributors, argued and haggled over the albums on this year's list. We all voted, and then we argued and haggled some more. Lists like this are always subjective, and none of our ballots really looked anything like one another. We don't agree with each other, and we don't expect you to agree with us, either. But the albums on this list still represent a kind of miracle — a year where the great music never stopped.
—Tom Breihan
