I’ve been sharing standout tracks from 2025 for the past couple of months, and I’ll continue posting daily until New Year.

A few favourites have been held back for December’s #MusicChallenge — #20SongsByYear — so the best is yet to come.

November #ArtistFaveLP

💿 Beautiful Freak
🎤 Eels
📆 13 August 1996
🏷️ Alternative Rock

Eels is one of those artists where I only know a few of their albums, but what I know I really like. They have 15 records, and after almost 30 years, their debut is still their most recognizable and iconic album.

Once again, thank you to the #ArtistFave15 hosts @geodrew.bsky.social and @olgalovesyuri.bsky.social

Can’t wait to start posting my December artist! Here’s a teaser: there’s just 1 degree of separation with Phil — considering their major collaborations — and the music will be mostly instrumental

#MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear #2021Music

For this November challenge, I’m sticking with recent years — just going back four, to 2021.

Expect a mix of modern prog, art rock, cinematic pop… and a few unexpected turns along the way (but we don’t talk about that song)

#ArtistFave15 November is for Phil

Like Peter Gabriel, I first knew the artist before Genesis, which became my favourite band. But unlike Gabriel, it took longer to appreciate Collins until after I became a Genesis fan. Though I still prefer him in the band, a few of his solo songs I hold highly.
