2020 Recap: Favorite Albums, Shows, Etc

With all the hectic happenings at the end of the year, things can be missed. This is just a catch up post to point out a few of our favorite things from 2020 that shouldn't go unnoticed. There were many strong releases, not many great live shows but other interesting things in a crap year....good riddance.

What a year, of course the world ground to a halt, and RtBE went out of our collective brains, posting 515 times, with a focus on live streams trying to publicize the musicians who were performing remotely, unable to tour. 

I personally also submitted the most reviews I ever have to Glide Magazine (almost 50 in 2020) and will take a second to thank Shane and the whole Glide team for allowing me to continue working with them on a wide variety of reviews.

Now...in case you missed it here are our Best of 2020 series of posts...

Our picks for best album art of 2020, where we check out some creative album art from the last year.

Our picks for best live show of 2020, what an amazing year for live tunes...all of these were jaw dropping nights in their own ways.

Finally our favorite albums of the year. The honorable mentions and top ten list are all lined up. 

If you are looking for more suggestions, we also have our list of the top fifty albums of the past decade which you can check out and yell at us about. 

Feel free to let us know your choices for all of the above in the comments and thanks as always for reading and exploring...as the patron saint of this site stated:

What are those of the known, but to ascend and enter the Unknown?
