2010-2019 Albums of the Decade: HONORABLE MENTIONS

Okay, here are the 2010-2019 Decade favorites Honorable Mentions.

There's  90+ releases here. A few live albums, some EPs, etc.

I would say I enjoy all of these to similar degrees, so much so, I just didn't feel it's worth ranking them.

Am I leaving some off? yeah, likely, especially probably from the last couple of years. It's SPLITTING HAIRS which often is what all of this LIST MAKING and RANKING often seems to be trying to do.

So, I'm not gonna say much more about this particular list. But I will say, the Countdown per say will be posted in 2 ENTRIES, largely per I didn't want to have 100+ images to LOAD IN each time someone may click on the 2010-2019 albums entry.

I can say, the list for both of those entries is at a grand total of 106 albums, so logically, I decided to split it down the middle. The 1st will be counted down numbers 106-54 and the 2nd and TOP list will be counted down numbers 53-1.

Blurbs? obviously not here. I think I should owe it to these albums to write something about each one. But I can't promise given how much added time I will have.
