I only know one Turkish artist, Kerem Gorsev, but he has two albums that I love. I don't know if this is your style of music, but you can check him out if you want.

Correction. I forgot that I do know of another Turkish artist, Mehmet Cemal Yesilcay. I know him mainly for "Secret Garden". This is one of the most beautiful instrumentals of all-time, IMO.
Well... Two years ago I (re?)-organized my MP3s, but last year I couldn't figure out why I bothered, until very late in the year when I realized that "organize" is not the same thing as "de-duplicate" or "qualitatively grade." Or, at least those two things don't happen automatically as a result of proper organization.
So my 2025 goals are to do those things, plus I want to get back into vinyl-ripping at some point or other. Maybe I'll start a BEA "vinyl-rip diary" to accompany the vinyl-ripping, since I haven't seen anyone else do that around here (which probably means it's a dumb idea, but hey, nobody ever said I wasn't full of dumb ideas).
Still, I wouldn't call these "resolutions," because if they don't happen I probably won't be mentally harmed all that much. My only real resolution this year is to clean my garage, which will probably take me about 2-3 years.
I'm not going to act like I'm an expert on Turkish music (or even just 'music from Turkey'), but I do think the country has had a handful of gem releases of the last few yearsโ
+ the more recent Red Wine Killaz, which I'm just adding to the site now.
Main reason I want to shoot some recs here is because I beleive (hate me all you want) Turkey has a much higher miss-to-hit ratio than average. Hoping this helps sift through a bit. And while I'd vouch for their 'Turkishness', Altฤฑn Gรผn are technically Dutch, but giants in the modern Anatolian Rock scene.

Didn't end up making many BEA year charts. I think I'm just not in the mood to make charts lately, and will have to wait until it comes back. It's also a lot easier to make a chart for a brand-new year one album at a time, instead of ranking dozens of previously heard albums at once.
Explored Turkish music a little more, but not extensively.
Made a few more playlists, so I guess that was the most successful resolution.

I got 1000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die for Christmas, so now that I have both it and 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die(see thread), my music resolution for 2026 will be to explore new albums from both books.
What about you? What are your 2026 music resolutions?
Happy new year as well ๐ฅณ From a music point of view, want to get a bit deeper into jazz and classical but also want to keep on top of current year releases as best I can. It would be great to get a 2026 listening club going that I can dip in and out of. Quite enjoy following along even if I donโt get time to post sometimes (hopefully thatโll change at some point).
2026 is when new music from James Otto will finally be released. I also look forward to new music from Mason Ramsey and John Foster from last year's American Idol show. ๐๐๐
God bless you and my favorites always!!!
