So in past years on this site, I've done Best Of lists at the end of the year - my favorite movies, favorite albums, favorite concerts I got to see during year, etc. But as you probably know, 2020 is not any normal year. There were a lot less movies thanks to theaters being closed, I couldn't keep up with the amount of TV there was and mostly rewatched old comfort shows, and concerts pretty much shut down entirely and there's no clear way to know when exactly they'll be back.

So instead of doing my usual Best Of lists to round out the year, I'm going to do it all right here - these were my favorite things that got me through 2020 intact. Some new, some old that I discovered for the first time. All of the stuff I'm about to list off is great (obviously, because it's my list) and I recommend checking out some of it out if you haven't!
