My 2021 favourite still (now having heard quite a few more) is Splinters Vol. I by Battlestations, and although I'm used to my taste not being mainstream, I am somewhat bewildered by not seeing this mentioned by anyone else, and be it under honorary mentions below rank 20.

Hi,
I'm still listening, and not ready to choose anything at all. I'm leaving behind any listing that has been around before, in a sort of idea that I will find some newer things. I'm kinda tired of the old names continually showing up -- NOT THAT THEY ARE NOT GOOD -- but in many ways, I think it lowers the ability of new folks to stand out and have a chance to be heard. Thus, my listing will not include any "known" names per se, on purpose. We need new music ... the listing of threads simply pushing old stuff as better needs to be shown that there is better, and different, new music that deserves the discussion and the ear in my book. So, here's to the new year as well and to newer artists! Two on the list already for me ... AGUSA and RACHEL FLOWERS and MONO.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

When six out of Bruford Freaks' top seven are in my top seven? Perhaps, I should check out the one that is not?
