2025 Year-End Lists

RockyRaccoon · 2025-12-02T15:29:06-05:00

It's that wonderful time of year where all the music publications put out their top albums of the year lists! Figured I'd create a thread for us to keep track of them since a lot of the big ones are out such aaaaaas: Pitchfork's 50 Best Albums of 2025 New Yorker's 15 Best Albums of 2025 Vulture's Top 10 Albums of 2025 Paste Magazine's Top 50 Best Albums of 2025 Stereogum's 50 Best Albums of 2025 The Line of Best Fit's 50 Best Albums of 2025 And of course, the coolest list released every year that always thumbs its nose at you and says do you even actually know anything about music??? The Quietus's 100 Best Albums of 2025 (this sounds like I'm badmouthing The Quietus but honestly it's just the opposite, I love them and their list is always the most interesting list every year)

Thanks! I'm working on a variation where you build a top 10 one at a time based on different categories so that it's a bit more engaging, hopefully will have that done soon!

In the meantime here's Thurston Moore's top 350, some good picks on here https://open.substack.com/pub/72558/p/350-best-records-of-2025-by-thurston

Can we add this chart to BEA. I want to make notes :D—

Super interesting list from Moore. I know a few, course, but mostly new names in that top 50—
