I enjoyed these albums, but I didn't feel they really made a significant enough impact on my listening this year to include in my best of list. A lot of the albums in here missed out just barely, or have been in the top 50 for me for a good chunk of the year before being knocked down, but I didn't really feel that I listened to enough new releases to form a cohesive enough top 100. Next year hopefully I can but a little more effort in earlier in the year. These are listed alphabetically and are not ranked.
