My Top 100 Albums in 2024
It's been a few years since I've been active on this site, and since then I've amassed over 7300 albums listened, mainly rating them on albumoftheyear. In that time, my taste in music has changed a lot so I figured I'd come back to the site where my musical journey really began and make a current top 100 list. These aren't in any particular order, because I love many of these albums to the point where it's difficult to rate them. Typically, however, albums listed first are albums I added to this list later on. |
