I'd love to hear what great new tracks and albums you find in year end lists. Also, if you have a great EOY list I missed, please link it below.

I've been compiling a playlist of new songs I've found on these lists that I like. Find it here --> open.spotify.com/playlist/3nO...
EOY 2024.

And to head off the basement music critics, Im not endorsing the overall quality of these lists or saying that they nailed the rankings perfectly.

I like these lists because they make it really easy to quickly review a strong set of music published this year - much of which I might have missed.

Other lists I've enjoyed this cycle @pitchfork.com's Top 100 Songs and The Ringers Top 30 Albums.

Fantano's lists are currently being published this week, so I can't link each one, but he'll do a bunch like Best Tracks and Best Albums as well as the Worst Tracks and Worst Albums.

There's a little bit of all types of music in there, so if you're interested in EOY lists, it's a good start.

I found this song on Fantano's 'The Needle Drop' YouTube channel, where he does year-end lists each December, and the playlists are then community-submitted to Spotify and Apple Music.

Looking through the comments of the Herberts On Holiday video, it looks like I'm not the only one on this path..

First off - my top song played this past year from my #spotifywrapped was found on a year-end list from December 2023.

So it's very possible to find absolute gems that stick even when you're looking for them.

That song is Herberts on Holiday by Spiritual Cramp --> www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQCp...

hahah amazing. Saving both of them.

Love that - feel like it should be part of a series. Could also use one for ‘no,’ ‘yes,’ and ‘thumbs up.’

It's like a little internet museum display - love this example. Wonder what some other good 'locked in time' sites are like this!

The one that comes to mind is zombo.com (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombo.com)
