10. In This Moment Mother
I have enjoyed this LA based band for years and have seem them live at least four times. This album is very good. And my assessment went up with every listen.
9. Amy Maacdonald The Human Demands
A Scottish singer I have followed a while. Very different style than many of the others on this list, but her music always hits a nerve in my soul - in a good way.
8. Ad Infintum Chapter I: Monarchy
With albums from big time hitters of this genre such at Nightwish and Delain on this list, it says a lot about this Swiss band that this album comes in ahead of both of them. This is truly a wonderful band.
7. Snow White Blood Hope Springs Eternal
What I just said about Ad Infintum. Ditto for this German Band. A marvelous discovery for me this year.
6. Smackbound 20/20
One of the only good things about 2020 is that I discovered so many great new (to me) bands.
This Finnish band reminds me a bit of Halestorm, a bit of Anouk, and maybe a bit of The Pretty Reckless. I really enjoyed this Album.
5. Flamingo Komorebi
A duo from Milan, Italy. This album just kept growing on me. And I intstantly had loved it to begin with.
4. MisterWives SUPERBLOOM
This is a pop music band from NY. I love this album top to bottom. I saw them live at First Avenue a few years back.
3. Nine Year Sister A World is Waiting
Sister acts seem to find their way to my list every year. This Australian duo's album touched me.
2. JJ Wilde Ruthless
This Canadian singer-songwriter brings us a powerhouse album.
1. Caitlyn Smith Supernova
First, I had this album a clear Cum Laude. Then I decided after the sorting listen that is was actully going to be Summa. Then, after the latest listen, it's my number one. Just fantastic.
Bonus: she's from Minnesota.
