Allmählich sind die ersten Schritte ins neue Jahr vollzogen, bleibt für 2020 nur noch ein letztes Aufdröseln.

Wie immer haben wir uns zum Jahresende zusammengefunden und unsere Redaktions-Albumhighlights mit der einzigen Methode kompiliert, die nicht in Blut und Tränen endet: Abstimmung in Listenform. Doch weil dabei viele weniger häufige genannte, obskure oder kontroversere Werke unter den Tisch fallen, möchten wir an dieser Stelle auch auszugsweise unsere indivivuellen Listen aufführen, die noch einiges mehr aus dem vergangenen Musikjahr repräsentieren.
