Man I don't even know how to start this one. 2020 has been an absolutely wild ride from start to finish. I'm sure it's been that way for everyone and it's a year no one will forget. Perspective and growth have been some keys to move forward with and hopefully the world is a little better on the tail end of everything. I'm not here to go on about all of that though, it's 2020 roundup time! A duality of playlists from the beginning of this blog back in February wrapping up this insane year. Let's get into it and look back at a few key bands and songs that got me to this point writing this post!
First though, I've got 2 playlists for everyone today. One of them is a full compilation of each monthly playlist that are viewable on this blog. An "exhaustive collection" I call it, although it's only 234 songs. It would be way too much for me to write about everything I listened to over the year, or even on a monthly basis. Most of my monthly round ups were highlights for that month and I didn't want to cram each playlist with like 80 songs. This time it's different though, as all together The Complete 2020 Extravaganza touches so many styles and genres that it's just pure chaos on shuffle.
Now my 2020 Playlist. I wanted to pick and choose personal highlights from each of my monthly playlists that I could put together and have it be at least somewhat consistent. I know it's obvious but this compilation may not be that good for a lot of folk as a whole. The main purpose is to share my likes and possibly have someone find something new that they enjoy. The 2020 Playlist consists of 115 songs, across a handful of genres. I think it's best for this post if I highlight the highlights, because going over a massive list is too much and no one wants to read all of that. This post is already quite lengthy so if you read through this it's appreciated. Nevertheless let's dive in and actually post some content now :)
If you give a thorough listen to any of the artists that are on my 2020 playlist, it has to be Driveways. I've only been listening to them for a few months, but they've become one of my top played artists for the entire year. These Boston Bois are so damn talented and their music is addicting. October Forever as an album is flawless in my opinion, but the song October Forever has been played so many times. It's too good.
I'm realizing quickly how long I could go on for a lot of these songs, so how about an "In no order" top 10?
Lonely Avenue- In Hope That It's Worth Hearing
Thanks for being apart of the ride, even if you're checking this out well after the fact. I had a lot of fun building up my monthly listens to one big playlist. One of the great things with music is that it is infinite and ever expanding. There will always be new music to listen to or a new artist to discover that you end up enjoying.
What's gonna happen now that the year is over? To start, I will be continuing monthly playlists as it's a nice way to organize and listen even on a personal level, not just for sharing or explaining on this blog. I'd like to make more specific posts like my band of the month and album reviews. I'm also active on the Facebook Page, typically posting a few times a week. I have a lot of playlists that will be works in progress for quite some time so those will come at spontaneous intervals.
Well that's that. I've said enough about this year, so let's get on to the next! Happy New Year and here's to a better 2021!
