2020 - Most Underappreciated Albums of 2020

Lol, I meant it could last the best of the '20s albums list....

This thread smells a bit street-teamy to me (not gonna lie)—but as I am myself a fan of Big Thief and Adrianne Lenker’s solo albums, I will give Torres’s album, Silver Tongue, a listen.

I haven't seen theJaga Jazzist album get much love/attention. I really like the trajectory they've been on.

Oh no! I've started these types of threads I think more than once over the past 15 years. Please look it up if you will. I'm a middle-aged IT employee in Florida with zero ties to the entertainment industry, just FYI.

LOL... I know you're a 25-yr-old Merge Records publicist sitting outside a coffee shop in Durham, NC (mask hanging from one ear as you sip cold brew)!

J/k, I'll stand down ;)

LOL! I kinda do love Merge Records. hahahaha

I'm hoping folks will post albums that they really love, that isn't given album-of-the-year consideration. I'm a little behind in music.

I love Summer Walker's Life on Earth EP, and Kaash Paige's album Teenage Fever – both of which are big in the r&b world, but which I don't think have received much critical attn generally (or been discussed here outside the rolling r&b thread).

(discussed by me) (maybe too much) (lol)

jim elkington released another fantastic folk record earlier this year —ever roving eye— that just seems to have disappeared from most folks' minds. it's not my favorite release of the year by any means, but it's just as good as anything else he's ever done.
