Best Music of 2024 - Part 1

2024 was a very good year in music, in my opinion, probably the best in recent memory. For that reason, I'm doing a top 40 for the first time since 2018, a year when I actually recognized my 50 favorite albums. 

2024 was also the year that Black Sabbath took over the reigns from AC/DC as Little Chuck's favorite band. In fact, we have tickets to see Zakk Sabbath just after the new year, so we're pretty excited about that. I doubt we'll ever get to see the real deal, although if a reunion ever happens, I hope they choose Zakk Wylde over Tony Martin as the lead singer...assuming Ozzy is no longer an option. 

Speaking of the real deal, please keep this quiet for a few more days (not that anyone's going to be talking to LC in the meantime). 

I'll probably have more to say in later posts, but for now, let's get to the list: 

40. Rick Wakeman - Yessonata

39. Iron & Wine - Light Verse

38. Gillian Welch & David Rawlings - Woodland

37. Kim Richey - Every New Beginning

36. Middle Kids - Faith Crisis Pt 1

35. Johnny Blue Skies - Passage Du Desir

34. Jack White - No Name

33. Brown Horse - Reservoir

32. Horse Jumper of Love - Disaster Trick

31. Pernice Brothers - Who Will You Believe
