Modcast #593: Mr. Suave's Faves of 2025

New year, new music. But what about last year's great music? Here's a last hurrah for some of the best releases of 2025. These are 20 of my favorites that I listened to on repeat in 2025. So many best of lists are ridiculously long with 200, 250, even 500 releases. What's the point? I like to take my time and actually edit it down to a managable number that means something. It's not easy, there are some bands that didn't make the cut, but were so very close and truly deserving. But not everything can be a favorite, because again, what would be the point? So here's my look back at some of 2025s best. Enjoy and let me know what you think, leave a comment below and tell me what some of your faves were in 2025.
