Right now, I honestly haven’t decided if I will do a TOP 50 or not. I had a tough year physically, and I didn’t go out to as many shows as I usually do in a year. But I have indeed compiled a huge list of good albums released in 2024, and all of them were bangers. i’m quite sure many of you will enjoy many of these tilts and maybe you’ll find some new bands .
I spend a lot of time online and other ways searching for more bands to write about and I spend a lot of time reading other articles about music. I watch many videos studying guitar tones and what differentiates one band from another. This is my Christmas break and I am relaxing and deciding what to do next on here.
2025 is going to be another year of amazing albums, and I have my radar open for any and all titles, Including in all these titles, I have more articles coming about 2024 as a whole, so make sure to bookmark pages and set your RSS feed to my page here.. That will let you know when to continue to come back and check your articles for new content….see you down the road.
