I don’t know if Charles Dickens said it first, but I’ll argue that he said it best: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” 2019 brought all the feels, didn’t it? And 2019 brought all the music to go along with the feels, too. Here, and in no particular order, is my list of some of the musical standouts of the year.
