10 Best Rock Albums Of 2020

There's a lot of people who found it hard to keep their head above water in a year like 2020. Even when things started to look up at the best of times, it felt like something more dire was waiting just around the corner to tear everything down. Though many of us may have wanted to stop the world, Spanish Love Songs showed us all that there's strength is going onward.

First and foremost, this album does not mince words about the hardships that come with everyday life. Given that most of this was put out before the pandemic even started, there's a lot to sift through on here that isn't necessarily for the faint of heart. However, this is the kind of optimism that comes from acknowledging the hardships and working day after day to make them better.

Just one listen to songs like Routine Pain or Losers will give you an idea, with these guys accepting their lives as misfits and looking forward to the day when they can become stronger people. Coming from the more negative side of the spectrum, this is most realistic kind of bright side that we can hope for at the end of a very draining year. While things might look grim right now, these guys are continuing on with the same brave faces that Bruce Springsteen would recognize in an instant.
