Of course, we all know 2020 sucked and I couldn't see any shows but there was some good music released. Here are the albums of new music that was released in 2020 that I bought this year. There isn't anything on the list that I don't like. Here is my ranking of music released in 2020 that I bought (so far):
1. The Symbol Remains - Blue Oyster Cult (this was a close one with Pearl Jam but I went with this one because it exceeded my expectations more) 2. Gigaton - Pearl Jam (Best album since the 90s)
3. The Unraveling - Drive-By Truckers 4. The New Abnormal - The Strokes (a 2000s band makes an album that sounds like an 80s album. I'm not a fan of 80s music but I really liked this. go figure.  ) 5. Reunions - Jason Isbell 6. Whoosh! - Deep Purple 7. Dear Life - Brendan Benson 8. Ordinary Man - Ozzy Osbourne 9. Ghosts Of West Virginia - Steve Earle 10. Hate For Sale - Pretenders
Just released and haven't listened to enough to rank yet - Hey Clockface - Elvis Costello
Based #1 pick. |

As much as I don't care for their more extreme stuff, at least it has more personality than British Steele and Point of Entry. Both those albums were so boring to listen to imo. Screaming for Vengeance surprised me that I really liked it, Hellion/Electric Eye is a banger song combination. The best thing on British Steele was Grinder, the song itself wasn't good imo, but the lyrics were so bad they were funny. they definitely seem to go back to the Painkiller style with their 2000s albums. Not for me, but still unique enough. Nothing ever as good as Sad Wings of Destiny though. |

You're right, those albums are boring. They were made to be commercially successful in the UK, so they did basic metal. Turbo was designed to be a US hit album, which didn't happen, but its still an interesting album, as it has a lot of cool guitar-synth things on it, but you're right, certain Judas Priest albums are flat out boring. That's why Painkiller is so well liked, because it actually sounded like a band who gave a crap, the same with the Ripper albums. they definitely seem to go back to the Painkiller style with their 2000s albums. Not for me, but still unique enough. Nothing ever as good as Sad Wings of Destiny though. |

View AttachmentNow to rank all the albums (that I've actually heard) by a Non-obscure Canadian rock band you might have heard of I listened to Roll the Bones yesterday and would personally put it in B tier. Has some highs and lows but is a decent album overall. Hearing Geddy Lee start rapping during the title track is hilarious though and for a near-40 year old at the time of recording prog rock singer he's actually not bad at doing it. |

Somebody is not going to like one of your decent rankings.

Rush hasn't been a Prog band since 1976. They released three prog albums, everything after that is synth-hard rock.
