I’m changing things up this year. An album that might be sitting in my Top 3 one day might not even crack my Top 10 the next week or next month. So, like everything else in 2021, I threw the “rules” out the window, and my year-end lists are all going to be sorted alphabetically.
On any given day, all of these albums connected with me in a special way for whatever reason during this past year, and if they did that, they earned their spot on this list.
For this list of my favorite albums, I’ll also be including a standout song from the project. It might be my favorite song or even just a song I think deserves more attention off the album.
