2021's Greatest Hits

As I keep saying, 2021 > 2020 but that's not a huge compliment.  Lots of really good records but honestly, not sure if there's a lot of great ones per se.  Just happy that there's good music still coming out at all.  Less singles to love but still plenty below, about 11 hours worth.  And bless all the reissue labels that dig up old albums to love again and find new artifacts to dig.
