Happy New Year to you all! May the tiny morsels of rhythm that our site provides help make your days better and your spirits soar!

We are currently compiling some fantastic 2024 fave lists from group members. We are going to take a short break from that today, however. Since it is a New Year I though I would look ahead and provide a “25 For 25” playlist complied from 25 artists that I know, hope and, in some instances, pray (yeah I’m talking to you Kevin Shields) will release a new LP in 2025.

Here is the list with the year of the artist’s last studio LP in brackets. There is no ranking of preference, I just made the playlist as artists came into my head.

After that is a 25 song Spotify playlist that features one of my favourite songs by each artist.

Please enjoy in health and happiness…
