Hi, friends! We have two quick things we wanted to let you know about before our Year End coverage starts next week. Firstly, unlike previous years we won’t have a friends-of-the site post. The reason for this is pretty straightforward: we didn’t end up having a ton of time to organize one, and could actually use an extra day in our posting schedule next week. Will it return in future years? Perhaps, but probably in a slightly different format. Speaking of our posting scheduled next week, the second thing we wanted to let you know about was that the Top 25 list will post in discrete chunks from Monday to Thursday, and the Wrap-Up podcast will post Friday.
If you’re a relatively new reader and haven’t ever been around these parts for our Top 25, you’re in luck! Below you’ll find links to each of our eight (!!!) previous Top 25 lists, with all the associated write-ups. We really enjoy revisiting these for perspective as we prep to do this year’s list, both as a refresher on how our own tastes and priorities have changes, and to reaffirm our love for the music we cover and the amazing artists who make it. Have a look below, and we’ll see you Monday!
