The Great Blitz Album Survey…Favourite Albums Across The Years…The 2020s

General Gibberish Forums The Pool Room

If there is one thing that Blitz never has enough of, it’s music threads…so here’s another one.

Over the coming weeks I am looking to develop a comprehensive list of Blitzer’s favourite albums for each year from 1960 through to 2024.

I’ll break it down into threads by decades so you don’t have to spend ages on putting your favourites together.

This seventh thread is for the 2020s.

I’m asking that you name your top three albums for each year…in order as your top album will get three votes, 2nd favourite will get 2 votes and 3rd favourite will get one.

Eg

3 - Fave Album (3 votes)
2 - 2nd fave (2 votes)
3 - 3rd fave 1 (1 vote)

Extra Info: Live albums and Soundtracks are ok but Greatest Hits/Compilations are not

I’ll keep a tally and present the details later.

Format is simple:

Copy and paste the following data into your post…and then add the details

ARTIST NAME - ALBUM TITLE
