The 2025 Rank’em As You Hear'em Thread!
 

We haven't had one of these in awhile even though we have one in most of the other forums so I figured why not. After my Spotify Unwrapped showed how many hours in 2024 I spent listening to podcasts I'm cutting them out entirely in 2025 and focus on listening to music.

Hmm, I can try this for the first time.

I'll set something up later.

Thank you for starting this.

What the heck....I'll give this a try. Heaven knows how consistent I will be in keeping this up, but I must forewarn everyone - from October to December, I only listen to Christmas music as I work on my annual mix, and I try to also mix it in throughout the year, so things will probably go askew pretty fast
