Top 20 Favorite Albums from 2023: The Viewer's Choice List!

My Viewer's Choice list for 2023.  These albums were curated from the identical pool of albums that I went through this year, but were selected by my viewership through the same selection process that I used.  I love that its significantly different than mine.  In truth, I get to live a bit vicariously through it, because I really do love all these albums, but they just got edged out for one reason or another

Are you not entertained?

Below is the Viewer's Choice playlist, which includes selections from both the mid-year top 12 and the Top 20.
