2019 has been a banger of a year for music. Thanks to 'the internets' and availability of inexpensive but decent recording equipment, new and excellent musicians are emerging from all over. And we've been treated to a myriad of incredible albums from seasoned veterans in the music world. Here are the 20 albums that stuck to my ribs the most. I'm not saying they are the best of the year, I imagine that there are artists I missed and genres I overlooked. But these are really good, and if they didn't make it onto your radars you should definitely check them out.
