Okay all, the group #AOTY list is up! I've boosted the toot version from @1001otheralbums.com, but footnotes look like crap on here, so it might look better on the blog. Thanks everyone for taking part, there's some great stuff on here to check out - 132 albums, to be exact!

Happy listening! And remember, keep your friends close and your records closer.

Last call for anyone wanting to add the album that kept them going this year to our Fediverse #AOTY list! Can be from any year, max 3 picks per person. I'll be posting the full list tomorrow on @1001otheralbums.com including streaming links and genre tags for each if I can. Reply here, DM, or email (johnmastodon@1001otheralbums.com) if you want your picks included!

Have an album or 2 or 3 that kept you going this year and want to share with the class? On Jan 1(ish) I'll be posting our Fediverse #AOTY list, would love if you joined us! So far we have ~100 albums, most from 2024 with a nice handful from other years. I'll be including streaming links and genre tags for each if I can. Reply here, DM, or email (johnmastodon@1001otheralbums.com) if you want your picks included!

Happy solstice, y'all! Just to update on our Fediverse #AOTY list, we currently have around 90 albums, contributed by 36 Fedizens, with only a couple repeats! There's still plenty of time to figure out your picks (max 3!) if, say, you* have to do a Genesis deep dive first and want to leave room for them just in case. I'm planning on posting the full list on New Years(ish), so that leaves us with just over a week. Hope you join in!

*It's me, I'm doing that.

#YearInReview

I'm going to leave this call for a Fediverse #AOTY list open for a couple weeks, and then if there are enough submissions for a blog post, I'll do that for around new years. So, no rush, y'all have time to think about it, see what your actual listening stats for the full year were, etc. I think I'll probably submit 3 albums myself but want to think on it more.

Feel free to boost the OP. 🤓

New idea: Want to contribute to a Fediverse-sourced #AOTY list, that includes your top album (or 3) of the year, where "top" is however you define it - favorite, most listened to, most personally important, etc. - and "of the year" does not necessarily mean the album was released in 2024, just was key in your 2024 listening, and you think others might dig it? If so, drop album name(s) below! If people like this idea, I might make it a special-edition post/sub-list for the #1001OtherAlbums blog.
