Best Music 🎵 of 2025!

[wokeupnew]

I was thinking about ranking the years of this decade (so far) in another thread. I've been revisiting a lot of my favorites from the past 5 years recently. It would be cool to put together a list of everyone's favorite albums of the half decade 2020-2024. Might be a fun idea for a new thread.

Now that the 2020s are halfway through, what do you think? What albums do you like more than others? Is your favorite release from 2021 better than your favorite release from 2024?

Make a list! Sound off below!

Those top three of my list are all very likely to be in my top ten of the year.

A. I haven’t spent a whole lot of time with it yet.
B. Those top three are better than the nine of my top ten last year.

Well if you did some more of A. then you could, potentially, have (4) B.s

If it makes you feel better I haven’t listened to that album or anything on your list even once.

You’d like the Daniel Bachman, I think.

That’s pretty good. It reminds me a bit of the more avant garde side of Jim O’Rourke. I would have to be in the right mood to fully enjoy it and usually that mood involves me being super focused on something else but I have now listened to an album on your list so that’s something.
