Best music in 2020


The Third Mind

Dave Alvin all grown up and boy am I glad to witness it!
128x128slaw
Some great suggestions here - Springsteen, Pretenders, and especially Nick Cave.

Also good to see the Strokes back and taking risks. 
Nick Cave "Idiot Prayer" Great sounding on vinyl too!
Matt Beringer (of The National) - Serpentine Prison
Fiona Apple - Fetch The Bolt Cutters!

Cheers,
Spencer
Morrissey - I Am Not a Dog on a Chain (2020).

Wow, what a pleasant surprise! Morrissey releases a pop album again.

After just  a couple of listens I'd say it's up there with Viva Hate, Your Arsenal, You are the Quarry etc.

Producer Joe Chiccarelli has somehow managed to do as good an impersonation job of Johnny Marr's arrangements as anyone has yet managed with Morrissey.

The sheer musical variety on this album is a most refreshing change. Take the lead single for example "Bobby, Don't You Think They Know?"
