The 35 Best Rock Albums of 2020

Ben Seretan!

 

Took a while to grow on me, but easily one of the best emo albums of past years.

 

Melkbelly and OHMME on that Pitchfork rock list is awesome, they haven’t gotten a ton of love elsewhere.

 

This Carpool album is a cool mix of snotty pop punk vocals and twinkly emo. I like it so far

 

Reminds me a lot of Prince Daddy and the Hot Mulligan album from this year. Cool stuff.

 

The 10 Best Hardcore Albums Of 2020

 

Yup, perfect comparison!

 

I always like the Uproxx Music Critics poll. The cumulative list ends up being pretty similar to all the others, but sifting through the individual lists is fun.

Albums: The 2020 Uproxx Music Critics Poll
Individual lists: The 2020 Uproxx Music Critics Poll
Songs: The 2020 Uproxx Music Critics Poll: The Best Songs Of The Year

 

By far the list I look forward to the most every year.

AOTY: Bartees Strange - Live Forever
Best debut: Snarls - Burst
Best non-LP: Soul Glo - Songs to Yeet at the Sun
Most underrated: Empty Country - Empty Country

 

^^ I feel like I like that

Am I in a time warp with Empty Country? I know his album was delayed into this year but Marian was one of my favorite tracks from last year

 

Kerrang top 50

The 50 greatest albums of 2020 — Kerrang!

 

Got to Corey Taylor and stopped reading.

 

MGK on there? Fuck that list.

 

Also, they put Green Day on there...

 

As bad as i'm sure an album with that title will be, they don't make inappropriate comments about children on social media, so not really on the same level.

Besides, it's Kerrang. If you're over 15 and still taking music advice from them, you need to have a look at yourself in the mirror haha

 

Them and Rocksound. It's surprising they ended up with something genuinely good like Code Orange as their AOTY.

 

I mean they did something cool and posted the Svalbard performance in the K Pit but other than that...eek

 

I’ve seen MGK on a ton of personal AOTY lists on my socials so far. Not for me personally, but it definitely seems well loved.

 

MGK album is just watered down pop punk, it ONLY speaks to nostalgia for a type of music that is no longer popular. His singing vocals are absolutely horrid, they do not fit the music at all.

And he is a trash human

 

Another good one.

Favorite Albums of 2020 – Raven Sings The Blues

 

The font for the artist names is terrible, though

 

I completely agree. But I’m not surprised Kerrang would’ve included him and I know a lot of my IG following loved it.

 

Yeah it’s bad.
