[Prob500]

As December is nearly here guess it’s time to start this again. Doesn’t time fly, barely seems any time since the last one.

So in this thread please provide your top 5 albums of 2021 in the following format:

1. Name of artist who released your favourite album of 2021: Name of album.

3. Etc
4. And so on
5. Name of artist who released your 5th favourite album of 2021: Name of album

Please only provide it in this format, and I’ll only use the first contribution provided (anything else makes my life difficult). I’ll keep this thread open until at the earliest the first weekend of January (1st/2nd) so plenty of time to wait until you have the perfect list.
