This year was hard to pin point what the heck I was listening throughout the year. My obsession with Busman’s Holiday made #1 a clear favorite. After #1, it gets murky on the next 9.
Cameron Winter’s ‘Heavy Metal’ is for sure #2, but it is technically a December 2024 release, so I just lumped it into the newest Geese which he fronts as well…talented fellow.
I feel like I’ll have a new list in two weeks after submitting this, so do what you will with this list. Enjoy 2026 everyone.
