This is a list of the Best Sounds I heard in 2020. And I heard many of them! I had to choose from about 700 releases! I focused on full Album releases. No Live releases, No Various, No Best Of, No Split Albums, No Re-releases, No 7inch Singles (obviously)

50+1 records that will Blow Your Mynd!

Psychedelic Rock, Psych something, Garage Rock, Space Rock, Jazz Rock, Folk Rock…

Check the Bands/Releases and if you like, buy their records!

SUPPORT THE UNDERGROUND – FEED YOUR HEAD

You can listen to one track from each release through my Mixcloud radio-show:

Part I: From pos.50 to pos.26

Part II: From pos.25 to pos.00
