Good stuff. Here’s my top 5 vinyl. 1. The Third Mind 2 by The Third Mind. Technically 2023 release but I heard it in 2024. Both their vinyl releases sound awesome. 2. Yummy by James. One of their best. James puts out really good vinyl. Clean, flat, silent. 3. Passage du Desir by Johnny Blue Skies aka Sturgill Simpson. 4. Inhale/Exhale by Rufus Du Sol 5. Tie for fifth. No Title As Of… by God Speed! You Black Emperor and Snake Oil King by Widespread Panic.
@ I finally saw them live and man they were great. I’m looking forward to hearing the Live at The Acropolis triple vinyl set when it comes out next year.
I also loved the new Jack White, Zach Bryan, and Sturgill records. My personal favorite of the year was The Red Clay Strays' Made by these Moments. Really worth a listen if you've never checked them out.
My Top 5 Records… 1. The Heavy Heavy (acid rawk meets Mama’s & Papa’s) 2. Black Crowes (nope, did not see this coming) 3. Jack White (primal urges) 4. La Luz (for fans of Khruangbin) 5. JD McPherson (Robert Plant’s guitar slinger does it again)
As a soul fan, this year has been amazing! Thee Sinseers started 2024 off right with their debut LP. And Thee Sacred Souls had their sophomore LP thos year as well, and Kelly Finnigan's sophomore solo LP. Super excited stuff
1. La Luz - News of the Universe 2. Mac Cornish - Never Made Much of a Lover 3. Jack White - No Name 4. Hurray for the Riff Raff - The Past is Still Alive 5. Wussy - Cincinnati Ohio 6. The Black Crowes - Happiness Bastards 7. Adrianne Lenker - Bright Future 8. Phosphorescent - Revelator 9. Johnny Blue Skies - Passage Du Desir 10. Sierra Ferrell - Trail of Flowers
Great list. Kept waiting for you to toss in the new pumpkins record though. Thought it was definitely a return to form. Appreciate the content and the suggestions of some stuff I’ve missed.
Slowly But Shirley- Soul Asylum Songs Of. Lost World- The Cure American Primitive- Old 97’s Brighter Days- Dwight Yoakam Super Magick- Better Than Ezra Happiness Bastards- The Black Crowes
Just my opinion...but Isbell and the 400 Unit are arguably the best rock band working today. And Isbell is, without question, the greatest living songwriter. Weathervanes was a masterpiece, but so has every single album hes made since Here We Rest 15 years ago. Live at the Ryman 2 is absolutely great. Going to see him again in May and cant wait. And totally agree with you about the Sturgill album..it's superb.
Great list. We had an embarrassment of riches in 2024 as far as new music goes. Little surprised you didn’t have IDLES TANGK in there. That said, I need to dive into that Jerry Cantrell a little more. ✌🏻
I really listened more this year to Scream from New by Been Stellar, Opening track and Pumpkins are catchy but in time the whole albums calls you back. Im actually surprised how much I listened to it. Worth a try :)
thks nice selection i have most of your choices - still getting my top 10 as yet and i guarantee most will be different apart from leon bridges - he is a great soul singer

First time watching - feels like a really American centric list (and there has been some great records coming out of the US this year) but I feel you’ve missed some really strong releases out of the UK. The Cure, Beth Gibbons, The The, James all released fantastic records in 24.
MOST OF MY NEW RELEASES 2024 th-cam.com/video/Z2m_zwu_YqQ/w-d-xo.html I enjoyed this video, the first nine records you showed were completely unknown to me. Just this morning I ordered the Zach Bryant, unheard on someone's recommendation. I also pre-ordered "Still Barking" from the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band after watching their video.
10. The Last Dinner Party- “Prelude To Ecstasy” 9. Blood Incantation- “Absolute Elsewhere 8. Kali Uchis- “Orquideas” 7. Night Verses- “Every Sound Has a Color in the Valley of Night” 6. High On Fire- “Cometh The Storm” 5. King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard- “Flight b741” 4. Dua Lipa- “Radical Optimism” 3. Balance And Composure- “With You In Spirit” 2. Tombstoner- “Rot, Stink, Rip” 1. Better Lovers- “High Irresponsible”
Agree with some picks… a lot I’m unfamiliar with …..however….. a list that doesn’t include Bruce Dickinsons “The Mandrake Project “ or Judas Priests “Invincible Shield” ??? (Jaw on floor)😮😮😮😮
Seems like you only listing Csten to LPs from the South excepting Pearl Jam and Cantrell. There is a whole world of musoc out there, You should expand your musicall horizons

If you liked Lucinda's Car Wheels on a Gravel Road you may like the current Hurray for the Riff Raff. Great album. If not then i can't help you.
Not enough people know about / are talking about The Bridge City Sinners- Age of Apathy. Comfortably my top lp of the year.
i want that audioslave vinyl so bad 😫😫😫😫
Check out Kathryn Williams & Withered Hand. Hands down the best album of the year.
Jerry Cantrell album is killer
What is #8?
A La Sala by Khruangbin.

Not a Maiden fan personally
@ I don’t think there’s comparison between Maiden and Dickinsons solo work… but to each his own
Seems like you only listing Csten to LPs from the South excepting Pearl Jam and Cantrell. There is a whole world of musoc out there, You should expand your musicall horizons
I listen to plenty of music from all over the place. Just so happened that a good portion of my favorites this year had local/southern ties.
I didn't see The Lemon Twigs come up, that list needs fixing.
Cartoon Darkness
Yep
