2020. Bad for living. Great for music. Well, not live music. And not so much for musicians either. But it was great for listening to music while holed up in a bunker waiting for a vaccine.

John’s Picks
John chose Lana Del Rey's Norman Fucking Rockwell!, which I would argue is not eligible, but was my favorite album of 2019. Even when we play a different song, we end up on the same note.
