I've always held the belief that music wasn't better in the past, people just have survivorship bias. What are your genuine favorite albums of the last few years?

Personally, I'm loving The Rime of Memory by Panopticon, Ants from Up There by Black Country, New Road, and Hellfire by Black Midi.

Here's a few I've enjoyed in recent memory:

Koyo - Would You Miss It?
Militarie Gun - Life Under The Gun
Tigers Jaw - I Won't Care How You Remember Me
Yard Act - Where's My Utopia?
Vacation Manor - Vacation Manor
Hotline TNT - Cartwheel

The Koyo album is great if you like punk/hardcore/emo, same with the Militarie Gun one. Tigers Jaw has been one of my favorites for a while, and this album is one of their best imo; great band if you like indie rock/emo. Yard Act's a British rock band with post-punk influences, you might like them if you enjoy that signature dry British humor in combination with some social commentary. Vacation Manor is a more laid-back indie rock band with more classic Americana/Springsteen influences, I can't recommend them enough for people who have a sweet spot for classic rock. Lastly, Hotline TNT's album is worth a listen for people who enjoy shoegaze and indie rock, they have a really great DIY sound with just enough polish to tie the album together and keep it accessible. The 2020's have been a damn good year for music, at least as far as the bands I've been keeping up with.

Edit: added Tigers Jaw, I couldn't leave them out

Militarie Gun & Koyo are killing it. I would like to add Fleshwater's We're Not Here to Be Loved.

Ooh that was a solid one too, good catch. Can't wait to see what else they have in store
