Best Albums of 2020

Here are my picks for Best Albums of 2020 (in order)...

1. Dramarama, "Color TV" - The Southern California-based rock band, best known for such 1980s and '90s alternative radio staples as "Anything Anything (I'll Give You)," "Last Cigarette" and "Haven't Got a Clue," came back strong this year with its seventh studio album (and first in 15 years). Definitely worth the wait.
