Music kept us moving this year. We depended on our favorite music like never before, to give us that jolt of human connection, to shake up our emotions, to keep us dancing on our own. These were the albums I loved best, the music that lifted me up, and pointed me forward. My favorites run all over the map stylistically, from pop gloss to indie rock, from rap to R&B to folk to disco. Some come from longtime heroes; some are by new kids; one is by Paul McCartney.

Wah! Our genius songwriter Hoseok ended up here with both Outro: Ego and Dis-ease as highlights💃😍All hail to the multitalented King! Enjoy the masterpiece😎 jhope

We love Rob Sheffield 💞

love the description on Map of he Soul: 7; no compromises needed, indeed.

the1bawin Except BTS album, all others are phenomenal. I haven't heard Paul's album yet but no doubt that will be excellent too.

robsheff robsheff List is a waste of time. Can just look at Billboard top 40. Corporate music, nothing exceptional (except Fiona Apple - best record of the year). And of course Bob Dylan, because Jann made you put him in there.

robsheff Thanks Rob. Your list mirrors mine and so glad to see MOTS7 at 10. Both it & Sawayama were sadly & wrongly overlooked by the Academy.

renkiger Couldn't a professional like Mr. Rob Sheffield do the review of BE? Why did you make a boo blogger do it? Anyways, A very good article, and very good reviews.

TroyeSwiftvan Thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻💖💖

And you hired a white man equivalent to an infected pimple (Jeff Benjamin) to review BE instead of Rob Sheffield a bona fide music critic. We are not forgetting anytime soon .

MrsTOH2O BTS_twt baby

As a Prog Rock, Punk Rock loving child of the 80s, this article makes it very clear that pop music has passed me by.......
