Sure I’ll do this next year

 

2021, will you think about me? Here's last year's list. Made it through 290 albums last year, which was slightly more than the year before. Hopefully it decreases again this year as we're allowed outside again.

Musical Goals for this Year:

• Champion more rap music. I love hip hop culture and am aware of most major mainstream and underground releases, but looking back on my 2020 EOTY list it was reallllll light on rap albums. Part of that was simply what I gravitated to last year, but I'd like to consciously address that in 2021 by spinning ++ rap albums more.
• Take more chances with "older" albums. Outside of my yearly #MWE project, I don't push hard to build out my catalog. Hoping that every month I can look back at an album or two from before 2000 that wouldn't have gotten a ton of shine.
• Write more. For various reasons, I fell behind on write-ups of my favorite albums and songs at the end of each month. I'll definitely try to do more of that in 2021. (Click the month title below to link off to them!)

Rating Scale:

+++ = Immediate 'EOTY' Worthy
++ = Love
+ = Like
* = Indifferent
# = Dislike
