Still working on my 2023 album of the year list of course (which is really just my personal favorites of the year). Every year I end up doing a kinda rudimentary one for no real reason other than amusing myself and making a record of the bands I enjoyed listening to during the year.

This year, I'm also including a separate list for EPs, and I'm also determining the top album(s) for different genres, as I thought that would be the best way to narrow down the top album per couple of genres (since it's often tough to compare apples & oranges when it comes to top albums among wildly mixed genres).

It's TOUGH to finalize the list, too, but never because I can't find ENOUGH good albums-- it's always that there are TOO MANY good albums to choose from 🤣 (especially after next month, when my list of 20 will be full, and I might need to make some tough decisions if any more great albums get released later in the year 😨).

I just wonder if this resurgence of great new bands and music (not even to mention badass bands that existed before and are still recording and performing) will continue. I hope so. It's cool to see so many people out there are making so much amazing music.

Oh, I totally get the struggle of making those year-end "best of" lists! It's like trying to choose a favorite child or picking just one flavor of ice cream from a freezer full of options. The abundance of good albums can be both a blessing and a curse.

But hey, it's amazing to see so many talented bands and artists out there creating incredible music. It's like an unstoppable wave of creativity that keeps rolling in. And who knows, maybe the resurgence will continue and we'll be spoiled with even more fantastic tunes in the future.

So keep on rocking with your album list-making endeavors! It's great that you're documenting your personal favorites and giving recognition to these talented musicians. And if tough decisions have to be made along the way, just remember that it's a testament to how much awesome music is being released. Cheers to that! 🎵🤘
