RSU Radio’s Top Albums of 2019

Every year our DJs spend hours thinking about their top albums from the past 12 months. Getting to listen to so much music makes it really hard to narrow it down to just ten of our favorites but after hours of stressing, going back-and-forth, and maybe even some words we can’t say on the air, we have our best-of lists for the past year.
