WIGGY'S TOP 20 I.E. PROJECTS OF 2020

This was hard in general and made me realize how many IE projects I listen to in a given year! I admired all of these projects a great deal thus their being here. I listened to the top 4 projects on this faves list a lot, to an extent that was conspicuous to me, and they each were strong contenders for number 1 at different times and given another week to think on it I may have switched up the order yet again but here’s where I’ve landed in this snapshot moment. I don’t have a great reason for why some EPs got their own list and some are on this one outside of the time constraints of trying to put these lists together in general but props to those EPs’ creators! A final note, as with all of my 2020 lists for Zus this year this list intentionally excludes December 2020 releases and includes some late 2019 stuff, also intentionally, to make up for this.
