For whatever reasons, 2024 has been the year I've felt most aggravated to be out of the loop on the heavyweight popular music releases, as I seem to have found every single one, across a broad genre spectrum, to be aggressively uninteresting. Have not the slightest bit of energy to argue any of them with anyone though, so I just take it as an inherent fault on my part that must explain why the mediocre music everyone has been slathering over is not actually mediocre at all.

Not creating any kind of ranking this year other than to say that this piece of catharsis is my favourite song of the year and seeing it live was my gig moment of the year.

Little sparrow get LOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUD

 

Here's where my top 10 ended up.

1. Maxwell Stern - In the Good Light
2. Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties - In Lieu of Flowers

I haven’t listened to solo Morrisey. Maybe the Queen is Dead?

 

I find it really hard to listen to Frankly Mr Shankly, feels like Morrisey wrote it to annoy me out of listening to a great album.

 

I think he just wont post outside the entertainment forum.

This is maybe the first time I've finished my EOTY list before the year actually ended, wow!

Thanks as always to everyone who shared - I always find a ton of fantastic new music to listen to from these threads every year.
Hope everyone has a great 2025!
