End of the Year

Music Lists

Dec 06, 2025

I started getting records at age 13, 45’s 33 1/3’s, then cassette tapes, then cd’s and now streaming. I am a mad collector. Thousands of rcords, records and cd’s and lost count of albums, singles lists and Playlists I have. When I started cassette tape playlists, I was limited by the length of the cassette. On streaming there are limits of 5,000. So on Youtube and Spotify and others my playlists tend to be huge. I am not a fan of best lists, I like favorites as a descriptor. When I was first introduced to art, I quickly hated the descriptions that were next to the art pieces. Did not like them before or after experiencing the art. I liked to get my own feels for the art, on my own without direction. I am the same way about music, mostly because I am not a good writer. Since being on Substack and reading so many good music writers I can see their magical abilities in black and white. Still not what I like to do. I like to offer the music for your ears, heart, soul, feet, hips and mind to experience. So you get your own feels for the tunes, artists and lyrics. The shortest playlists are my daily posted playlists of 5 songs each. These end of year lists are larger, by far.

All play lists are Spotify. You can also find some of them on Youtube and Youtube music.

First up: 2025, a list made up of cuts from various artists that have lasted the whole year. 958 cuts/59 hours long
