A quick note - this top 20 is the first installment of Exclaim!'s EOY genre lists (this is Pop/Rock). They do not post an overall best-albums list (they did a top 50 list several years ago but have not repeated it), so this is one source for which we do make an exception and include genre lists on the spreadsheet. The lists to come should be: Soul and R&B; Metal and Hardcore; Folk and Country; Hip-Hop; and Dance and Electronic.
