Thanks so much for the playlist, the shout-out, and the ongoing, undimmed passion for songs, for music. Your enthusiasm remains contagious and much appreciated.
I enjoyed this post very much. While reading, I noticed several parallels with how I collate year best-ofs as I go along (inevitably ending up with long playlists and folders of playlists at the end of each year) and with some of my thoughts on the year's music as I found it, or as it found me. My account: https://songstudies.substack.com/p/2024-in-review-the-year-in-albums. I agree that there was plenty of great music last year and there will be plenty mmore to come this year. Just setting my 2025 folders up now.
Sure thing Nolan. As noted, this was about amassing good music as it came along rather than narrowing down to a Top 20 or suchlike, and second-guessing what was "meant" to be included. I love that so many of us make so much music these days and so much of it as good.

Thanks Richard, I am heading over now to read your own observations, especially about the "how" rather than the "what"...
A very good year. Here's my list.

Great, thanks for sharing that Mick. I have imported into my Qobuz account and look forward to listening.
Wow, what an incredible surprise! Thank you for including my music, Tony.

When you create in what feels like a vacuum, anytime someone makes a positive remark it has a beautiful impact. It’s like fuel. Thank you, sir.
