Thank you Mr. The Snare I can finally listen to music from this year

[Michael-rwxk]

This series is genuinely one of my favorites on YouTube. Idk what it is but just having a concise highlight reel celebrating the year in music is so fun to go through. Happy to see you're keeping it going!!

Daft Punk's marketing team was having a home run celebration of 10 years of RAM until they said "you know what, FUCK drums!" and now everybody resents them

12:20 Mr. Snare will not stand for an album where they no longer mic'd the snare I love it

[lernernernerdicarpricorn]

Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess was on repeat the entire end of the year. Chappell Roan is an amazing artist and performer. I got to see her in October and I just know I’ll never be able to see her in that small of a venue again. She needs to blow up.

Thank you Mr. The Snare for acknowledging our Eurovision 1993 reps, Ms. Electronica and Mr. Timez

[thenightranger]

It’s wild to me how well the mentions of Chappell Roan aged in just the next year

[TaylorsVersio]

Chappell Roan is soo good thank you for spreading the gospel! I think she'll really blow up after Olivia Rodrigos GUTS tour

[jadza]

My favorite opening track of this year was absolutely De Selby Part 1 - Hozier. That transition into Part 2 makes me start floating the second I hear it

Edit: I also wanted to say I really love First Light as a closing track. I highly recommend the album Unreal Unearth to anyone who reads this and hasn’t listened to it!

[lyzetteg]

The Black Rainbows appreciation is SO good, thanks for that! More people need to listen to that one, it rules.

[Asummersdaydreamer]

1:56 I agree that Troye Sivan’s “Got Me Started” really should not work, but it really does and is such an ear worm

EDIT: I mostly listen to Pop and am not a music nerd who knows many artists from multiple genres; i respect them but could never gain that wide of enthusiasm.

It was nice to see Troye Sivan, New Jeans (I am not on TikTok, so it might already be overplayed, but give “ditto” a chance it’s nostalgic in such an addicting way), and Chappell Roan (I was listening to that album yesterday; “casual” is narratively engaging) have a mention.

[astralchimera]

this seriously was such a good year for all different kinds of medias its insane

[AndrewBehm]

Can’t believe A&W won the prestigious “Best ???” award, so happy for Lana 🥲

[TheCheesyNachos]

5:37 transition from bad idea right to usd20 was incredibly smooth

[errortheghost]

Chappell Roan's The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess is my favorite album of the year and I'm so glad it got referenced in this

[goldengrapes]

The Yukika, Chappell Roan, DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ, and Yves Tumor shoutouts! I cannot overstate just how much I look forward to these lists every year. It's not just the snappy editing and clever quips, I always walk away with a wealth of new music to check out. Can't wait for the top 10 list to drop!

[ephy]

Glad to see some Paramore love! This Is Why might be my album of the year. It's definitely in the top 5. What a great year it's been for them too!

[gillyrae]

Album of the year for me is DEFINITELY The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess but I'm excited to check out all the rest of the stuff on this list I haven't heard yet!!

[phelanii]

Best opening track for me was De Selby part 1 + part 2 by Hozier, absolutely my jam. I feel like no one talked about that album except for me and my friends...

[alanrobertson]

I listened to the Corinne Bailey Rae album after watching this video and it was DEFINITELY a highlight from this year I almost missed. Thank you very much for your service Mr. The Snare 🙏
