Steve’s Favorite Stuff in 2024

Ultimately, 2024 was not a great year. I won’t get into the ins and outs of why but if you live in the United States of America, or have been following our news, you might have a pretty good idea of what I’m talking about. For me personally, it also wasn’t the greatest of years.

2024 also saw the loss of musicians Steve Albini, Wayne Kramer, Kris Kristofferson, Mojo Nixon, and Paul Di’Anno (original singer of Iron Maiden), among others.

Musically speaking, however, there was a lot to be happy about. There was a ton of great music that came out in 2024.

Anyway, here is some of my favorite stuff from 2024:
