Poll: pfm Album of the Year 2020

[lordmortlock]

Sevdalisa - Shabrang

If you only try one, try the track "Joanna" from the Sevdalisa album Shabrang

Fantastic lp. Amazing recording too.

 

[cporton]

Future Nostalgia - Dua Lipa
Beyond the Pale - Jarvis Cocker
The Universal Want - Doves

...with a nod to Taylor Swift's two albums too!

 

[Yank]

Will Bob Dylan's "Rough & Rowdy Ways" make the list?

Does Neil Young's "Homegrown" qualify? It was released in 2020, but recorded in 1974-75.

 

[Ridoves]

Doves - The Universal Want
DMA’s - The Glow
Strokes - The New Abnormal

I'm not sure I like anything from 2020 yet!

I'll probably pick up some belters from 2020 in about 2023 ... very often the way!

@Tony L - not enough nominations yet - can you extend my ability to edit the OP if I leave the nominations open until this Sunday, leaving a week for the vote?

I felt there were slim pickings this year but would nominate

1. Matt Berninger- Sepentine Prison
2. Bruce Springsteen - Letter to you
3. Michael Kiwanuka - Kiwanuka - released November 2019 but won Mercury Prize this year so more of a 2020 album in my book!

Surely Matt Berninger’s Sepentine Prison? It was a contender for my top 3...

I suspect I’ll have to edit it, just send me a PM when you have the list you want and I’ll sort it.

Ah, apologies, but much appreciated. Could you edit the OP now to say nominations until Sunday?

 

[Tony L]

Done!

My three most-played 2020 releases:

Nicole Atkins -- Italian Ice
Khruangbin & Leon Bridges -- Texas Sun
Thundercat -- It Is What It Is

I also really liked Baxter Dury's The Night Chancers, Matt Holubowski's Weird Ones, and Khruangbin's Mordechai. I also ordered the new Avalanches and Tame Impala records, but they haven't arrived yet!

 

[Whaleblue]

Any more anyone?!

Album "Suddenly" by Caribou is playing right now, and I'm excited by an album from 2020 for the first time, so put me down for that.

 

[darrenyeats]

PS: I thought I was new to Caribou but I've just worked out the Four Tet remix of Melody Day was Caribou's song.

 

[Whaleblue]

OK, my fault for a badly organised thread, but I won’t ask Tony to mess about with the OP for a vote with so few nominations, and especially so few multiple nominations...

So, instead I’ll declare the winner as:

Sault - Untitled (Black Is)

Here’s to as much excellent music in 2021 as we had in the year 2020.
