I Have A Very Special Music Playlist

[center][big]Rock’s Not Dead 2020[/big][/center]
This is going to be an all year long playlist and the start of something I intend to do every year. As the title implies, it’s going to be a playlist predominantly featuring rock music but I will also include pop and maybe other genres just for some diversity. All songs featured will be released this year.

I kinda did this over the past couple of years but those were just called “quality music” playlists. Once I realized the vast majority of them consisted of rock songs, I decided to start calling it by it’s current title. The 2018 playlist had 50+ songs, last year’s had 100. This year, it’s going however many songs I’m able to find, whether it’s 100 or 1,000. The last couple of playlists were restricted to only obscure artists. This one, I’m sure it’ll end up having a lot of obscure artists too but I’ll start including more popular, high profile artists as well. So long as they’re objectively good in quality, they can have a place here. Though I intend to uphold the “one song per artist” rule.

Like I said, this is something that will be going on for the whole year, meaning I will be updating this whenever I find a good new song I can add to it. If you’re interested in following along, be sure to check every once in a while for updates. If, by chance, you might be interested in participating by adding your own contribution(s), then you’re more then welcome to do! Just make sure it was released in 2020, though it can be a single that was released last year for an album to be released this year.

Starred songs are my personal favorites; songs I’ve had on repeat and could be candidates for my song of the year.
