Fave Non 2025 Songs this Year

Some are new discoveries and some rediscoveries.
1Radiohead
Hail to the Thief


'2 + 2 = 5'

Never that taken with this song at time of release but it hits now. I guess before parenthood you think there's only so much harm a government can do to you, but once you're a parent you realise there's no end to the harm a government can inflict on your child, which is terrifying.
2Fleet Foxes
Shore


'Featherweight'

Definitely one of their best songs that initially I'd lost track of in the slight beige'ness of the parent album.
3Simply Red
Picture Book


'Jericho'

Very strong nostalgia here, gently swings, this debut album has some undeniable good song writing.
4Jamie T
Panic Prevention


'Calm Down Dearest'

Revisited all his stuff again but the chorus of this still stands out.
5The Smashing Pumpkins
Adore


'Behold! The Night Mare'

My two longest relationships before meeting my wife, well, they both ended around Christmas time and this album was something I played that time of year so it tended to soundtrack that - the grief in this tune is palpable.
6Placebo
Meds


'Pierrot the Clown'

Never listened to this album really, but this is maybe their best ballad?
7Bloc Party
Another Weekend in the City


'Rhododendrons'

One of their best songs, and the lyrics seem a mission statement of sorts, amazing it didn't make the actual 'Weekend' album.
8Royksopp
The Inevitable End


'Sordid Affair'

The recent 'True Electric' album sent me back here, bit of a buried hit.
9Massive Attack
Protection


'Protection'

Great last tune of the night.
10Prefab Sprout
Crimson/Red


'Mysterious'

Don't want to be morbid, but in the running for a perfect funeral song. What a final song to bow out on, says it all.
11Anathema
Alternative 4


'Fragile Dreams'
12Suicidal Tendencies
Suicidal Tendencies


'Subliminal'
13Prong
Prove You Wrong


'No Way to Deny It'

One of their best, even if it's basically a refinement of a couple of previous riffs.
14Slayer
Christ Illusion


'Jihad'

Suitably terrifying, but also pumps you up.
15Hot Chip
Made in the Dark


'Ready for the Floor'
16Depeche Mode
Music for the Masses


'Little 15'

Strange outlier tune for them really, but I'd say top 5 of all their songs for me now.
17The Juan MacLean
The Future Will Come


'One Day'

Huge nostalgia associated with this one.
18The Young Gods
T.V. Sky


'Skinflowers'
19Mogwai
Rock Action


'Take Me Somewhere Nice'

Put this on the late night playlist, was a good choice.
20Kauan
Kaiho


'Lapsenmuisto'

Put this on the late night playlist, was a good choice. [2]
21Helmet
Strap It On


'Sinatra'
22Madness
One Step Beyond


'Night Boat to Cairo'

Madness I'd dismissed entirely but this is a stomper.

Peace at Last


'Sentimental Man'

100% their best 'upbeat' (relatively) song.
24Tim Hecker
Harmony in Ultraviolet


'Chimeras'
25Microdisney

Coolest song about nuclear war.
26The Stranglers
Black and White

In the running for best cover version of all time.

Dusk


'Dogs of Lust'

Johnny harmonica.
28Destroyer

He does openers well and this might be the best...not sure.
29Tindersticks
The Hungry Saw


'The Turns We Took'

they do closers well and this might be the best...not sure.

God Save The Animals

Wife loves it too, singalong favourite.
