AtticRock's Top Albums of 2024

Another year, another 'best of' list, as always highly anticipated by our dear visitors, isn't it?
So, here's my top 12 albums and also some that almost made it to the list.
I wrote down my chosen tracks from each one and links to their official sites which I strongly encourage you to visit. It's a way (albeit modest) of supporting their art.
You can also listen to a playlist of 20 songs from 2024 that I loved!
 

 
Have a great 2025 with plenty of live music!

Best albums of 2023, AtticRock's choice

There you have it, as always, my pick of the best albums of the year that just ended.
In 2023 we had new albums from such classic acts as Yes, Jethro Tull, Rolling Stones, Uriah Heep, Paul Rodgers, Pretenders, Foo Fighters, Alice Cooper and Metallica.
And yet, as good as some of them were, for me the most exciting albums are listed below.
Some are personal favorites, of the kind that rarely make bad or even mediocre albums: Rival Sons, Greta Van Fleet, DeWolff.
Others were discovered just few months ago but I will be watching them closely in the future: Creeper, Green Lung, Wytch Hazel.
The rest are artists that produced great quality pieces and continue to despise the motto 'rock'nroll is dead': Graveyard, Iggy Pop, Duane Betts, The Struts.

To start, a 4 minute clip with previews from tracks of my top 10 albums.
