Back in 2022, I had fallen far behind on posting lists of my favorite music every year, so I made a plan to post a list every 6 months until I caught up. Well, that lasted about a year... but now it's been over a year since I posted my 2022 list. I sort of had an excuse; when I got to the midpoint of 2024, I realized that I would catch up by the end of 2024, and then I'd have a full 12 months to listen to the music of 2025. So I figured, why not knock a few months off of that and give myself a little more than 6 months each to listen to music from 2023 and 2024? Okay, great, but then October came and went, and I still felt like I wanted to listen to more stuff from 2023. And now here it is in February 2025, my queue is still over 100, and my 2024 queue is over 400 and still growing! So I'm going to finally call time, post my favorites from 2023, and move on to listening to music from 2024. As a bonus, I also made a YouTube playlist of tracks from my ten favorite releases! (Scroll down, there should be an embedded player.)
The usual caveat applies: for most of these, I've only listened to them once each, which is why I've stopped calling this post "best music" and switched to "music log". It's a record of what I listened to, roughly ordered from best to worst. I've grouped them into loose buckets, but instead of sorting each bucket alphabetically, this time I'm leaving the order the way I added them, because there is an appreciable difference between the tops and bottoms of each bucket. But beyond that, don't take this ordering too seriously, because my listens may have been separated by more than a year so it's even harder than usual to rank things against each other. I'm also not going to try to re-adjust the buckets, even though the top and bottom buckets are rather smaller than in previous years. That's just how things fell out! Shrug!

The usual caveat applies: for most of these, I've only listened to them once each, which is why I've stopped calling this post "best music" and switched to "music log". It's a record of what I listened to, roughly ordered from best to worst. I've grouped them into loose buckets, but instead of sorting each bucket alphabetically, this time I'm leaving the order the way I added them, because there is an appreciable difference between the tops and bottoms of each bucket. But beyond that, don't take this ordering too seriously, because my listens may have been separated by more than a year so it's even harder than usual to rank things against each other. I'm also not going to try to re-adjust the buckets, even though the top and bottom buckets are rather smaller than in previous years. That's just how things fell out! Shrug!
