2025!! What a fantastic year for new licks and live shows! So many great albums from bands new and oldish (King Gizzard's Phantom Island, Perfume Genius' Glory, and Foxwarren's 2 were some of my faves front to back). The tour circuit was stellar, we were able to get to about two dozen concerts (which has definitely been the most since having kids) from as close as our backyard (Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, IL) to as far as Copenhagen, Denmark (anything for Radiohead). It was fun seeing old favorites like Bloc Party, Yeah Yeah Yeahs (my 6yo's first rock show!), and NIN, and a handful of first timers for me including Perfume Genius, Wet Leg, and Queen Beyonce. Finally, tons and tons of awesome new indie rock provided the soundtrack to endless car rides, lego builds, and jigsaw puzzling (thank you mainly to my girl JennyLSQ on SiriusXMU for these). And so without further ado and not in any trueeee particular order, my favorite songs of 2025!
