As so many music websites/magazines/blogs American music monument Rolling Stone also revealed their end-of-the-year-albums list with TAYLOR SWIFT leading the troops
with her FOLKLORE LP.

“It’s not a stretch to say that Taylor Swift’s Folklore may go down in history as the definitive quarantine album, and not just because of the record’s homespun, folksy presentation.
Without the pressure of having to write radio hits or build up her usual prolonged album-release schedule — full of music videos, Easter eggs, and Good Morning America performances — Swift shed the über-pop trappings of her previous album, Lover, for a project that put her once-in-a-generation songwriting talent front and center.” – Rolling Stone

2. Fetch The Bolt Cutters by FIONA APPLE
“No one could have expected the audacity of Fetch the Bolt Cutters, or the way Apple
expresses her independent spirit over an orchestra of drums, percussion, barks, and
meows.” – Rolling Stone

3. YHLQMDLG by BAD BUNNY
“Yo Hago Lo Que Me Da La Gana is both more varied and more focused than Bad Bunny’s excellent 2018 debut album, X 100pre, with reckless stylistic shifts. Bad Bunny released two more albums in 2020, but neither outdid YHLQMDLG‘s relentless firepower.” – Rolling Stone

4. ‘Rough And Rowdy Ways’ by BOB DYLAN
“Rough and Rowdy Ways is a lyrical tour-de-force, teeming with outrageous jokes, playful boasts and irreverent tributes to the greats who came before him. Stunners in themselves, these songs add up to Dylan’s funniest, most surprising, and most multidimensional album since Love and Theft.” – Rolling Stone

5. ‘Future Nostalgia’ by DUA LIPA
“Lipa’s second album would have been a magnificent disco trip, even in the best of all possible years. But Future Nostalgia was crucial for a year when these beats were as close to the club as fans could get. It’s a rush of uptempo dance glitz.” – Rolling Stone
