Here is my 2 top 20 for 2020. 
I won't make a definitive order of preference, but it's close enough

Prog:
Trees Speak - Ohms  Neo-krautrock (Köln-Dusseldorf school) done the US way by a pair of brothers 
Zopp - Zopp Can't get enough of this Canterbury album, it doesn't help that the last track is phenomenal
Wobbler - Dwellers Of The Deep
Isobar - Isobar
Tigran Hamasyan - The Call Within A return to Red Hail and Mockroot.

Guillaume Perret - A Certain Trip Second solo album without Electric Epic,
Elds Mark - s/t Great Scandic retro-prog
Polymorphie - Claire Venus (Grolektif crowd - Ni, Piniol, Poil)
Moleslope - Slope late 2019 Jap Canterbury
Trees Speak - Shadow Forms  see above, but without the surpise of their debut

Scherzoo - 05  almost the same as usual (different label) but a twist towards 03 rather than 04
Grumblewood - Stories of Strangers 
Glass Museum - Reykjavik (belgian piano-drum duo doing a quieter GoGo Penguin type of music)
Jaga Jazzist - Pyramid

Hedvig Mollestad - Ekhidna
John Zorn - Baphomet

psych/prog project including guest Jesse Sykes. lots of cover including
