Best Albums of 2021 Honorable Mentions

Bonus tracks! A lot of great albums didn't make my top 30. Some were near misses, others were oversights and some I didn't consider for not meeting my criteria of new material by a single artist or band (this eliminated some great reissues, box sets, live albums and multi-artist compilations.) Finally, some honorable mentions came from your responses or your own end-of-the-year recommendations and lists.
