Here's a place for everyone to share their EOTY lists for 2025. The Chorus.fm website contributors are hard at work at our own lists and we plan, like we did on AP.net, to post and share these on the website in early January. Pro Tip: Use https://chorus.fm/rank for easy ranking! Hope everyone had a great musical year and I can't wait to read all everyone's lists. 2024 (Contributor List) 2023 (Contributor List) 2022 (Contributor List) 2021 (Contributor List) 2020 (Contributor List) 2019 (Contributor List) 2018 (Contributor List) 2017 (Contributor List) 2016 (Contributor List)
I think all I’m comfortable with is a top 5 right now until I dig down into reassessments and listening data. This’ll be a top 50 in a week or two (as always, three tiers, no ranking within tiers) Between the Buried and Me - The Blue Nowhere The Callous Daoboys - I Don’t Want To See You In Heaven Deftones - private music Pool Kids - Easier Said Than Done Steven Wilson - The Overview
Don't have a list yet and overall wasn't impressed by much this year but Geese - Getting Killed is no doubt my number 1
will have to think about this. tons i'm still listening to for the first time (made it through the Oklou record and EUSEXUA Afterglow for the first time today, and have Geese queued up), and one that's not out yet (HEALTH). Hayley is a lock for #1 though.
Think I have a handle on my top 6 but have to revisit a bunch of albums lower on my list. Most things I've only spun once or twice. Big backlog to catch up on too.
I'll whip something up soon, I've been less and less inspired to make a full thing out of my end of year stuff, but maybe once I get the ball rolling I'll feel different.
A lot of great stuff this year, I'm still trying to listen to a bunch of stuff I haven't got around to yet.
I have a loose list already created but I want to go through and listen to them all at least one more time and adjust rankings a bit.
Lots of November albums that may still climb up the rankings, so will wait till late December before posting. The most wonderful time of the year!
