New year, new music. But what about last year's great music? Here's a last hurrah for some of the best releases of 2025. These are 20 of my favorites that I listened to on repeat in 2025. So many best of lists are ridiculously long with 200, 250, even 500 releases. What's the point? I like to take my time and actually edit it down to a managable number that means something. It's not easy, there are some bands that didn't make the cut, but were so very close and truly deserving. But not everything can be a favorite, because again, what would be the point? So here's my look back at some of 2025s best. Enjoy and let me know what you think, leave a comment below and tell me what some of your faves were in 2025..

Even as it's the start of the holiday season I'm eschewing the holiday sounds for when we get a bit closer to Christmas. Right now I've got a whole show of new songs to share with you. Tons of good music has been dropping since the summer, and earlier in the year as well, and I realized I haven't been keeping up with keeping you hipped to the latest and greatest. So this should set that to rights. Get to listening!
