What were your top musical discoveries of 2024?

Looking for music that was new to you and your collection that lit you and your system up last year.

Here’s my list:

Vinyl - 

UHQR version of Steely Dan “Asia”

Original Master Recording of Grateful Dead’s “Workingman’s Dead”

Digital files - 

Mac Miller “Circles”

Iron & Wine “The Shepherds Dog”

Jacob Collier “Djesse Vol.2”

Mokave “Afrique”

Skrillex “Quest for Fire”

Beyonce “Cowboy Carter”

CD -

Sinead O’Conner “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got”

 

This is at least what is top of mind.

Well, I didn't discover her in '24, but Kim Deal is in rotation again. Gecko Turner has caught my attention, as has Club Des Beluga. I have a German store I buy from regularly, and I've added This Bad Life "Big Jihad" to the rotation, and Amon Duul's "Yeti" both form the last batch. This past year I reviewed my Kraftwerk catalog, and had my eyes open for Missus Beastly and Rare Bird. There are multiple bands on BandCamp for which I'm waiting for the rice and bean diet to pay off...   Have a great new year!
