Don’t get me wrong: I have nothing against download releases, but I believe that there should also be options to obtain physical product. While I like some digital-only of these I heard in 2021, and even love some of them, I’m still old school and still believe in physical product.

I know this might seem a bit churlish, especially during COVID, but 95% of what I liked this year was released on either CD or vinyl, so it was clear to me that, if one wanted to release a physical version of their album, they did. Lastly, I did not include digital-only releases on any of my lists. If you have any complaints about this, please keep them to yourself-I’ve heard ‘em all. As anal as I am about my lists and about the year in which releases should be placed, I also try to be sensible about it and take into account the fact that one needs a bit of lag time to become aware of several releases, especially those indie releases which take up most of my list. There may be a handful of albums on this list which appear to be from 2020, or in fact were “released” at the tail end of last year. There were at least 25 more albums I could have included and still felt as if I enjoyed listening to everything on the list, but I wanted to keep it at no more than 175 so as not to overwhelm with all the other lists I have here, there’s enough sensory overload happening! If your album doesn’t appear on the list, please trust me when I say that it in no way means I didn’t think it was good, so please don’t be hurt (assuming you even care what I think) if your album isn’t listed here (or, for that matter, if it received a lower ranking than you were hoping for/expecting). From top to bottom this list is as solid as it’s been for several years. Those marked with an ** are cassette/reel-to-reel only releases.ĭisclaimer alert: I heard A LOT of fine albums this year, despite COVID. Those marked with an * are vinyl-only releases. As is my usual custom, I’ve broken this down into several categories, as I’m just not comfortable ranking unlike entities on one list. Here are my lists of favorite albums of 2021.
