best of 2019 :: Favorite Releases of the Year

 
 
2019. What a year in music. Here are 100+ releases that amazed me, presented for you in alphabetical order. Scroll down. All the way down. Most of the stream here are from bandcamp. If you like what you hear, click through and purchase the album or better yet if the artist is touring/playing near you… go see them live. Buy their music direct from the band at the merch table. If I am missing something amazing from this year, leave a comment below.
