Cemetery Skyline: Cool pick! I got on a goth metal kick after Neon Nightmare came out, and also dug, along with Cemetery Skyline, Pøltergeist, The Other Sun, Unto Others, Rosegarden Funeral Party, Demon Head, Rope Sect, Dool, Tribulation, etc. Fontaines D.C.: I dig it, was my #18. I'd also recommend The Buttertones and The Blinders, both of which made my Lucky 13, just felt more satisfyingly dark, as well as Thus Love, which I ranked a bit below Fontaines. The Cure and Opeth were my #1 and 3. Sendelica: Thanks for the reminder on that, it only just came out 12/20! Other space rock in my list includes Slift, Weite and Terry Gross. Cats in Space are a good time. Sgt Thunderhoof: Awesome band, love to see them get exposure on here. I'd also recommend Vitskär Süden for fans. Kudos to Jamie for sneaking in his top 50 in the backdrop, love it. And the Early Moods t-shirt, they were a highlight for me at Hell's Heroes earlier this year, which feels longer. Blood Incantation and Anciients were at the top of my metal list for sure. Dug the Gatecreeper. I've been doing a deep dive into extreme metal cuz, well, desperate times call for it, and also came up with Iotunn, Aseitas, Civerous, Sovereign, Fracture, Ulcerate, Eternal, Cave Sermon, Siderean, Jog For a Cowboy, Nile, Deceased, Chapel of Disease and many more. I'd especially recommend for SoT community who love the Blood Incantation and Opeth, to check out the Iotunn - Kinship. Denmark prog/death metal band's second album, at the top of their game, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Transit Method from Austin are underrated prog. Pop - my top dance-pop pick would be Magdalena Bay over Dua Lipa, but not exactly my thing. My kind of pop is Rosalie Cunningham (fans of St. Vincent should check her out), The Sonic Dawn & Dream Phases for psych pop, The Narcotix for cool ethereal vocal pop, think a more post-punk Kate Bush, Warpaint and Björk with Afro pop elements in the Brooklyn based band. White Denim's new album is pretty accessible too along the lines of Beck and Ween, but still some of the prog pop virtuosity. 1. The Cure - Songs of a Lost World 2. The Sea Kings - Fear is All Around 3. Opeth - The Last Will and Testament 4. Rosalie Cunningham - To Shoot Another Day 5. The Sonic Dawn - Phantom 6. Ducks Ltd. - Harm’s Way 7.

I was surprised to hear Phil day Time Machine was the best cats in space album. The previous 2 were much better for me. Also surprised to hear him say invisible shield is the best priest album. It’s my favourite of the year but the best priest ever?….. I have a different opinion but respect his. Good show guys
Love the Katatonia Sky Void of Stars T-shirt!! I love almost everyone's picks, but Phish are bad. Just bad. Pointless, unimaginative jams that go on and on and on and on. Sorry Jamie. Iron Maiden is soooo much better than Pearl Jam. I can understand the words Bruce is singing. Eddie just mumbles into the microphone. Guitar wise IM is soooo much better than Pearl Jam. Sorry again Jamie, but perhaps it is time to move to the Sea of Whimpey Feelings channel and leave SOT to the men.

Sadly the Valley of the Sun album is my biggest disappointment of 2024. The previous one was out of this world so was really excited for it. Too many songs are template, just lazy cliche riffs. Sorry, not sorry.

I've been doing a deep dive into extreme metal cuz, well, desperate times call for it, and also came up with Iotunn, Aseitas, Civerous, Sovereign, Fracture, Ulcerate, Eternal, Cave Sermon, Siderean, Jog For a Cowboy, Nile, Deceased, Chapel of Disease and many more. I'd especially recommend for SoT community who love the Blood Incantation and Opeth, to check out the Iotunn - Kinship. Denmark prog/death metal band's second album, at the top of their game, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Transit Method from Austin are underrated prog.
Pop - my top dance-pop pick would be Magdalena Bay over Dua Lipa, but not exactly my thing. My kind of pop is Rosalie Cunningham (fans of St. Vincent should check her out), The Sonic Dawn & Dream Phases for psych pop, The Narcotix for cool ethereal vocal pop, think a more post-punk Kate Bush, Warpaint and Björk with Afro pop elements in the Brooklyn based band. White Denim's new album is pretty accessible too along the lines of Beck and Ween, but still some of the prog pop virtuosity.

I was surprised to hear Phil day Time Machine was the best cats in space album. The previous 2 were much better for me. Also surprised to hear him say invisible shield is the best priest album. It’s my favourite of the year but the best priest ever?….. I have a different opinion but respect his. Good show guys
Love the Katatonia Sky Void of Stars T-shirt!! I love almost everyone's picks, but Phish are bad. Just bad. Pointless, unimaginative jams that go on and on and on and on. Sorry Jamie. Iron Maiden is soooo much better than Pearl Jam. I can understand the words Bruce is singing. Eddie just mumbles into the microphone. Guitar wise IM is soooo much better than Pearl Jam. Sorry again Jamie, but perhaps it is time to move to the Sea of Whimpey Feelings channel and leave SOT to the men.
anyone who thinks PJ is better than Maiden gets relegated to the estrogen box.

Sadly the Valley of the Sun album is my biggest disappointment of 2024. The previous one was out of this world so was really excited for it. Too many songs are template, just lazy cliche riffs. Sorry, not sorry.
Poor Jamie lol had 90 releases......i had around 140
physical? cuz digital really doesn't count.
@@independenceltd. physical as I ain't one of these cheap bastards who only buy digital. nothing beats cd or vinyl [mostly cd as they're cheaper than vinyl]
@@metal_maniac_68 awesome. i had less than 60 and it's taken everything i have to revisit them since oct.
