The Best of 2024

The best albums of 2024 are a very subjective choice from all albums (not singles) RECEIVED during the prior year; they need not necessarily have been copyrighted that year. I try to select the tracks most representative of the quality of the album, but am sometimes restricted by timing, etc.
