Here at Pitchfork, we listen to a lot of music. A lot. Every year, whittling down our best albums list to only 50 albums and our best songs list to only 100 songs is incredibly difficult. There’s just too much great stuff to choose from, and inevitably, even things that our staff members feel super passionate about end up on the cutting room floor.
This year, we decided to give our writers and editors one last chance to make the case for their personal favorites. This list features picks across genres and levels of fame; the only criteria for inclusion was that the album was not on our Best Albums of 2021 list. We hope you enjoy reading as much as we enjoyed listening.
