Our 20 Favorite Albums of One of Our Least Favorite Years
This is it! It is finally the end of 2020, and at the 11th hour, we are sharing our Top 20 albums fo the year. Why did we wait so long? Mostly because Brian forgot to post it days ago. But also because we wanted to go out with a bang? Sure…let’s go with that….
Happy New Year everybody! Here’s to a better year in 2021!
And remember – Be responsible. Stay healthy. Stay Metal.
In Which We Try to Make Things a Little Less Shitty
If you think about it, we help in our own way by entertaining and informing heavy music fans such as yourself. Even if we only provide temporary mental relief, it’s something, right? Well we want to do more, and we’d like you to help…and also help us entertain and inform!
What the hell are we talking about? At the top of the episode – and on THIS PAGE – we explain how The Sideshow Podcast is going to contribute Crew Nation, how you can help, and have some fun with us in the process.
And remember – Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay Metal.

If you feel like Brian sounds “tired as fuck” in the episode, you’re not alone…Nick already pointed that out. You are not wrong either…I was shot. I still made it through this jam-packed and kinda long episode, giving you 100% of the 50-60% capacity I was at because the show must go on….
The holiday season is here, and you will be shopping on Amazon. Please consider changing your bookmark to our site and using the album art on the side to get there! Amazon will give us a small percent back from your purchase and we use that to keep the show and site up and running. Thanks!

It’s that time! Time for Brian and Nick to share their top albums for 2013! And this year, there are more than ever! After individually making lists of more than 20 albums (beyond 20 was largely undecided when they worked on the collective list), the combined lists brought a Top 25!! There were so many great albums this year, it was hard not make a list this long. Realistically, it should be even longer because there are even more great albums that didn’t make the cut because of math, but there was just not enough time (and energy) to go further.
So, without further delay, here is The Sideshow Podcast’s Top 25 Albums of 2013! Feel free to discuss and debate (and leave your own lists) in the comments.
