Great stuff, tks👍
Great list Phil! Another couple of albums which came out this year which are absolute must-hears are Rival Sons' "Darkfighter" and "Lightbringer". They are well worth checking out when you are able. I wish you a very happy 2024!
Good Call , both Albums are quality.
Agree
Love the new soen album.
Soen is a great album.
Lots of other black metal and melodic death metal and atmospheric black metal.
Loads from Bandcamp etc and lots from bands own label.
Check out Century-The Conquest Of Time great heavy metal.
Cheers
Ignition by Streetlight my best of 2023

I clearly don't listen to enough new music, I don't think I could do a top 5 of 2023 releases! I still got a load of new, to me, CDs last year though ... Anyway, happy new year and all the best for 2024.
Thank you 🙏 Happy New Year 🥳
Thank you for a great list! Nitrate is a great discovery for me, thanks to you! So great, fun and killergood music, I could hardly belive that there was a new band who sounds like this🤩
Some I have others I need to investigate others confused 😮 great list Phil!
Phil/ thanks for a tremendous year. Happy/ HEALTHY to all 👍💯
An intriguing list. I need to investigate several of these albums further. Happy New Year!🎸
At last! A list of 2023 albums where I want to listen to most of them. I know three well, so that leaves 23 to go.
I have promised to work my way through Bob Dylan albums I haven't heard, so let's hope there aren't many new albums released in 2024, although I am thoroughly impatient for Ian Hunter's 'Defiance Part II.'
Thanks, Phil. Great show!
THis year i thought was a very good year for music in general, there was 2 new bands that came along and ended up being my no2 and no3 album of the year, they were NOSPUN and TEMIC, both in the progmetal department but for debuts were excellent, my no1 was a new band for me but had made 4 other albums, that band is called MOON SAFARI and the album is called HIMLABACKEN VOL2, check out the video for BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND ME and you will get a taste of this BRILLIANT, MELODIC AND THE BEST VOCALS on any album you will EVER hear, my no1 rock album was the ROLLLING STONES, this new album was my 1st ever listen to a stones album, i was very impressed and now have become a fan, better late than never, thanks for all the posts this year and have a great musical year.
That Sendelica album that you recommended is great. Nice way to start 2024! I will be busy discovering this band's music throughout the year. Actually, I started the year by reading about the attempted ban by the musician's union on synthesizers and drum machines on Robert Moog's birthday in 1982. Imagine music without these technological wonders.
Phil, if it hasn't already been said, like the music you talk about, you too are the healer. Also, such a nicely varied top 25 with lots of surprises I was not expecting or was aware of. Thank you.
That is very kind of you to say - Phil :)
Just listened to the Nitrate album, it's really rather good! Cheers..👍
Great show! Plenty of stuff to check out. I'm always on the lookout for music with positivity in message or vibe. Two albums that did that strongly for me this year were Lightbringer from Rival Sons and Wrong Side of Paradise from Black Star Riders. Darkfighter from Rival Sons is also excellent. Would love to see a show somewhere on best positivity albums. Great for the winter doldrums and especially the spring. Below are my tops for 2023.

Nitrate's "Feel The Heat" is a masterpiece.
Hi Phil. Just listening to your Nitrate and Tempt recs. Impressed! The Nitrate has a REO High Fidelity vibe...I imagine I'm an American college student and all I have to worry about is having fun and girls.. .Happy New Year...
I always enjoy your thoughts Phil, and this is another terrific video. As for myself I had an indi kind of year in that my fav records were Brain Worms by Australian band RVG, and Principia by French band En Attendant Ana.
Happy New Year Phil , Heaps 'chaos and colour' was a definite highlight for me . I'm hangin' for Magnums 'here comes the rain' in January . Cheers mate .😉
fantastic thanks
Happy New Year Phil.Great list as always
Happy New Year Phil! UTFV!
Lots of Stuff to check out. No Peter Gabriel but I cannot get into it and I love the man.
My Album of The Year was by Crownlands , yes it sounds like 70's Rush , which is why i adore it. You got me into Riverside and I thank you.
Happy 2024 and as ever stay well Matey.
Crown Lands amazing album
Happy New Year, sir! Your program is one of my top "finds" of 2023. I look forward to your insights this year. Thank you, Phil. Best wishes for the new year. Keep rocking!
So inspiring Phil. I have wondered what percent of time each day you have music playing? Happy New Year!
Phil great ones. Many in my List too !! What do you think of the new Pattern Seeking Animals ?🤩
Happy New Year 2024😄👍
Great list, Soen was my number 3, with a couple of UK bands pipping them to the post, first being Nothing But Thieves with Dead Club City, they just seem to improve on each album, when was the last time a UK rock band reached number 1 in the album chart, with Gunship with Unicorn at number 2, both groups from different genres but both a bit of fresh air, worth investigating Phil, take care

Enjoyed this video, a few new names for me to listen to. My choices would be the new Tull album and of course the sublime Paul Rodgers new one. Another choice for me would definitely be i/o by Peter Gabriel which I'm surprised wasn't in your top 25... or did I miss it? Anyway, a very happy and healthy New Year to you Phil and thanks for all you do musically and spiritually.
Thank you 🙏 I have still to get the new Peter Gabriel album 💿
Bloomin eck Phil what happened to Bernie Marsdens album working man? number 1 for me by a country mile .
I haven’t had a chance to get it yet !
@@NowSpinningMagazine It's amazing ,the second limited edition cd has remakes of solo and whitesnake and the main album is brilliant from start to finish.
I have to congratulate you on selecting Metallica and Soen. Metallica because they get such a negative reaction to all they do and I personally believe they have released a classic album with 72 Seasons. Soen because I never hear anything about them on other channels. Imperial was my favourite album of 2021 and Memorial is almost as good. Nice one Phil.
