Lists

Not including these records in my top 2020 was just too painful.

Some good old familiars and a couple of big surprises made it to the albums of the year 2020 for Glenn!

2017 was again a massive year for music of all makes, I’ve done my best to narrow it down to the 10 releases that suck with me the most the past year…

After endless debating the list is done with one clear winner!
