Top 10 EPs of 2020

 

https://dalekturret32.blogspot.com/2021/01/...20-quickie.html

 

 

 

Was going to be Top 5, but I listened to more EPs than usual this year

Great to see the EPs by James Blake, JPEGMAFIA, Shygirl and Disclosure.

 

Disclosure really came back with some strong singles this year- I did like “Ecstasy” and like you say it gave a promising flavour of what would be the album that they would go on to release in 2020. : )

I listened to none of those EPs unfortunately :( I have heard quite a few songs from the Bring Me The Horizon one though, certainly very varied and some good stuff on it although Kingslayer definitely isn't one I want to go back to in the forseeable future :mellow:

Many thanks to Doctor Blind and PeteFromLeeds for the feedback.

 

For now, here's Part One of my Top 50 Albums of 2020: https://dalekturret32.blogspot.com/2021/01/...rt-1-50-26.html

Have kept you waiting for too long. First off, I had university work. Then, I wanted to listen to a few bonus tracks that RateYourMusic listed for albums I've listened to, but I kept putting that off. There was also me trying to keep up with the music of today. Now is the time that I put it up. Here's my Top 50 Songs Of 2020!

• The song must have been released in 2020
• These are mainly from albums I’ve listened to, but there may also be some from albums that I haven’t listened to, or some non-album singles
• I’ll mainly focus on ‘one artist per song’ in order for this list to have more variety. A main artist can also go on this list with a featured credit as well.
• Songs already featured on my Top 10 UK Hits Of 2020 will not make it to this list
• Those released in 2020 recorded for a 2021 album will be highlighted with an asterisk (*)

Remember when I added the album version of Fontaines DC’s “Boys In The Better Land” on my Top 50 Songs Of 2019 list despite the original recording coming out in 2018. Yeah! I’m cheating with my #10 pick again, since I prefer the album version of “Borderline” over the original single version. If I had to replace it with another track from The Slow Rush, I would go for “One More Hour”.

 

 

 

 

 

And my number one song of 2020:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#1. Living In America by Fontaines DC [Album: A Hero’s Death]
