Hi from Liverpool Larry! You've made me laugh a lot this year Happy holidays

[janetsampson]

Yes great music can make me cry Larry, not everything but it does happen to me on occasion, (I've even cried listening to the Beach Boys) and as I've said before to me the Beach Boys as great as they were were a band for their time but they're not really relevant today, I know you love them and good for you, enjoy but to me they're a band from the past and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and sorry for your pain, may 2025 be a better year for you. Bob

Heck yeah, I got a shout out :D That stack of Beach Boys CDs is glorious, lol. Hope you continue to enjoy those solo Brian albums, too. The debut is like a combination of Pet Sounds and Love You with its synth-laden wall of sound.

For me the band I was obsessed with for this year was the Who. I had heard Who's Next and thought it was pretty good, but I kept listening to it again this year and it kept getting better then I listened to the Who Sell Out which I loved at first listen and then I heard the debut which was pretty good, but then I heard Quadrophenia which cemented my obsession with them this year.

Awesome video my friend
True is a fantastic album and one of my top 3 albums. Love Procol and Frank, and thank you for getting me into Sparks

[ralphacton]

I've listened to the Pod once. I only liked the one about the tacos. I'll try to listen again. Thanks

Hey Larry, I made a suggestion to Alex of Beer and Vinyl the other day of an album that was released this year that I thought he might like. But I think you might like it even better, considering how quirky your taste in music is at times. The album is called "It's Sorted" by a three piece band from LA called "Cheekface". At times it sounds like Lou Reed, other times a little Devo, and B52's, and They Might Be Giants or Weird Al. Sort of a mixture of them all. Lots of fun hooks. Between this album and their previous album you might find some stuff you like. Hoping you have a productive and -exiting- exciting 2025!

"In Search Of The Lost Chord" is my favorite Moody Blues album. ("Long Distance Voyager" is number two.) John Lodge has a new EP / album coming soon. I love that you love Lou Reed. Did you get the reissue of "Hudson River Variations"? I asked Santa for the Rascals box set. Hopefully I get it because it's already getting hard to find. Sorry, I love what Yes is doing today!! My favorite albums of 2024 are (in alphabetical order): The Bad Plus "Complex Emotions", The Black Keys "Ohio Players", Andrew Bird/Madison Cunningham "Cunningham Bird" (they cover the Lindsey Buckingham/Stevie Nicks album, "Buckingham Nicks"), Al DiMeola "Twentyfour", Dion "Girl Friends", Steve Forbert "Daylight Savings Time", David Gilmour "Luck And Strange", Ian Hunter "Defiance Part 2 Fiction", Sean Lennon "Asterisms", Tony Levin "Bringing it Down To The Bass", MC5 "Heavy Lifting", Pat Metheny "MoonDial", Nada Surf "Moon MIrror", Pearl Jam "Dark Matter", Madeleine Peyroux "Let's Walk", Real Estate "Daniel", Mike Stern "Echoes And Other Songs", Thee Sacred Souls "Got A Story To Tell", Jack White "No Name", various artists / "Silver Patron Saints The Songs Of Jesse Malin".

Songs Of A Lost World 🌎 by The Cure was my most anticipated & favourite album of 2024. It exceeded expectations.

[franco]

I have to thank you for me getting into Lou Reed, Sparks, Zappa, CAN, and the Beach Boys. I still listen to the Beatles but only the early years 62-66 this year. Next year I will get back into their later catalogue.

[jamieking]

Excellent Larry!, especially those Beach Boys albums! 👍. My favourite album released this year has to be Saviors by Green Day. A massive return to form for the band in my opinion. I wish you, Mollie and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

[AnthonyKiyola]

Interesting. I love The Beach Boys and according to Spotify they were my most listened to band of the year but I reckon Elvis has beaten them in the last week alone. Before I saw my Spotify Wrapped for this year I would have said Slayer but they were nowhere to be seen. I had a think and based on purchases, Wrapped, playlists I made and memory, these are my top 15 for the year… and in the order I think:
1 Elvis
2 The Beach Boys
3 Slayer
4 Ice T
5 Sepultura
6 Public Enemy
7 Diamond Head
8 Ice Cube
9 ABBA
10 Iron Maiden
11 Body Count
12 Pantera
13, Kiss
14 Stevie Wright plus The Easybeats
15 Cannibal Corpse… according to Spotify they were my 5th most listened to but I dispute that.
I didn’t purchase any new releases but I listened to the new Body Count and Ice Cube albums both of which I wouldn’t mind getting one day.
As for the Beatles, I am sure I only listened to Help and Magical Mystery Tour plus I listened to a fair bit of Ringo - his music does put me in a good mood.

nice list.... my fave ween album is "god - ween - satan - the oneness" ... hope you will get it soon... my favourite album of the year was kim deal's - nobody loves you more.... maybe also a recommendation for you, she has a great sixties pop vibe on this album

[richardhewitt]

Need to add :
Richard Hawley - In This City They Call You Love
and
Richard Hawley - Now Then

[Nerkin]

I know you’re not talking about albums *released* last year, but my favourite album of last year was the contemporary release of “A Dream Is All We Know” by The Lemon Twigs. A sunshine pop triumph, by a band rapidly rising to become my all time favourite, next to The Beatles. Their “Everything Harmony” album of 2023 is also a masterpiece. Have you checked them out at all? :-)
