Best Albums of 2024 - Ranked

[@bengthertzman9918]

The most diverse ranking list I ever seen. First time I watching your channel. Really like it and so much new music to check out!

[@cordesrecords]

Cheers!

[@alabamatubers]

First time watching your channel. Great rundown of the best of 2024. That Adrianne Lenker record is fantastic.

[@cordesrecords]

It’s so wonderful isn’t it!

You haven’t heard Mag Bay’s Imaginal Disk have you. You’ve got a treat waiting for you

No I hadnt!! But am listening now - and their beautiful! quite etheral electrontic.. Great suggestion thanks !

[@mmumambientsounds-timers]

@@cordesrecords don’t care much for AOTY lists but on the AOTY WEBSITE, users have it ranked at number 1 this year and there is a very good reason, it’s just unbelievably good, it blew my 48 year old mind! It’s that willingness to go prog, the production quality, the transitions, oh my the transitions. It’s the bass and drums, their synth choices, the gorgeous instrumental breaks, I could go on, so many element to peel back with each listen. It made me so excited to think how my relationship will evolve with these songs, this band over time, giving me that dopamine hit again and again, bringing tears of joy, reminding me this is why I love music. I haven’t felt that much with new music, I had it to a certain extent with the Japanese punk band Otoboke Beaver’s Itekoma Hits back in 2019, but it’s a rare thing to connect so deeply to a record. You may have guessed it, I like this band quite a lot! 😛 Btw, I don’t mean to offend, your list is valid, telling us what you liked the most this year is great and I will have to check out some of your recommendations, it’s an excellent way to discover new music. The problem I have really is throwing awards at the big sellers, for example, I think Billie Eilish is just wonderful but she will win awards because of global popularity, which doesn’t necessarily mean it’s better than everything else.

[@louismartinez7387]

Thank you Katy for sharing some of your favorites from 2024. Some are familiar to me and others not but your high praise and positive descriptions have sold me, and I will be looking to add a few to my collection...thanks immensely for the new leads...have a Happy New Year!

[@cordesrecords]

Happy new year! Thank you.

[@softturn4214]

Really really enjoyed your review and ended up liking most of the albums mentioned. I've yet to complete the video and listen to your top 3. Especially liked the Jon Batiste album. His versions of Für Elise and the 5th Symphony are so interesting! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@cordesrecords]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@markgaines6904]

Great overview of albums that perhaps should have a wider audience listening, but alas most will only listen to familiar ditties. Nice sharing your perspective I will look into picking some of these up

[@cordesrecords]

Thanks!

[@kwacker45]

Love Zach his lyrics are deep!

[@cordesrecords]

🤟

[@MrRacine67]

First time watching your channel but surely will not be the last. Great and diverse list. I'll be searching for the albums in the list I haven't listen to yet. Thanks!

[@cordesrecords]

Cheer!

[@kwacker45]

Scarily I’ve got almost every album on your list….and can’t argue with your top ten

[@cordesrecords]

Ha!!

[@scottmackenzie6699]

We both appreciate the Crowded House, The Lemon Twigs and Kacey Musgraves albums to put on our respective favorite lists. Prelude to Ecstasy by The Last Dinner Party is probably my number one based on listens. Thank you for sharing your list. The Hanseroth Twins’ Vera is now on my list. Beautiful vocals! If you like New Orleans Jazz, Tuba Skinny’s “live at d.b.a” is fantastic. Only available via Bandcamp! May the tunes in the New Year keep you nourished and inspired!! ❤

[@cordesrecords]

Thanks! A few people have mentioned Prelude to Ecstasy so need to have a proper listen.

[@sjbang5764]

I got chills listening to you talk about Annie Erin Clark. I cannot agree with you more about this incredibly talented woman. It does my heart and mind good to hear someone else talk of Ms. Clark in such glowing terms. You have many really wonderful choices in your top albums of 2024. Many of which I too had to have. Thoughtful video.

[@cordesrecords]

Thanks for feedback. 😊

[@richardriley4415]

I always enjoy these best of the year videos.

[@cordesrecords]

Thank you

[@emmittgeorge4685]

Very solid list. Great recommendations for me to try. My number 1 was The Cure and Nick Cave was my #3. St. Vincent was my #5. Still working through Kim Deal. Her voice is a bit weak on some tracks hoping it will grow. But surprised you didn’t have The Smile or Kim Gordon on your list. Happy New Year 🎉

[@cordesrecords]

Thanks! Appreciate it.

[@Chrismooar]

Love your list! There are a few I have to get pronto. I've subscribed too. What a great year for music.

[@cordesrecords]

Thanks Chris! Appreciate the sub too!

[@detectivecox]

My number one is The Last Dinner Party - Prelude to Ecstasy

[@scottadams7523]

Our lists share about 80%, yours added two to my list. The one I have that can't be moved is one I can't understand why is so overlooked this year and it is Patrick Leonard's "It All Comes Down to Mood" This is a must listened to beginning to end.

[@cordesrecords]

Will check out!

[@geoffreykelly5946]

Thanks for your excellent choices. I wholeheartedly agree on 2024 being an excellent year for music. John Craigie, Meernaa, Billianne, JD McPherson, Nico Paulo, Jon Muq, Lady Blackbird, and Josiah and the Bonnevilles are just a few of the great artists I discovered this year. Happy listening and Merry Christmas from Vancouver.

[@cordesrecords]

Wow!! I’m checking out all of them!! Thanks!!❤

[@oldluce6946]

Looking forward to working my way through these!

[@cordesrecords]

Great list

[@lostmixtapes]

Loved watching your list. Especially curious about the Hanseroth Twins.

[@cordesrecords]

Oh I’m so happy. They are great. John Meyer talked about one the songs his Sirius show - he didn’t know them either but recognised the beauty in the guitar riff and harmonies.

[@natedog4th]

They’re the twins who usually play and sing with Brandi Carlile. Great great stuff

[@b.selack]

Great video, would appreciate a text list of the albums (and/or songs in other videos) in your description.

[@cordesrecords]

Sure - may do that!

[@tomknoblauch5164]

What a joy. I had to chuckle at your comment about Australian hip hop music.

[@cordesrecords]

Heheheh😂

[@DadgeCity]

Thanks, great to hear solid recommendations for artists I don't know (well or at all) - I'm going to go away and listen!

[@cordesrecords]

Oh great!! Hope you enjoy.

[@johnny2bad2]

Lots of stuff I've never heard of to have a listen to. Thank you.

[@cordesrecords]

Thanks Johnny!

[@scotttaylor3515]

Thank you for your wonderful recommendations. I discovered some great new artists.

[@cordesrecords]

You are welcome

[@colin343]

I know very few of these artists and I’ve just stumbled across this page … very interesting choices , I can’t wait to have a listen to them and see how I like them… thanks and great site

[@cordesrecords]

Thanks Colin! 🎉

[@kenjones6441]

Can’t fault your choices. Not mine but still admire you. I recommend an album by Beardfish called songs for beating hearts. You will love track 4, the singing harmonies are beautiful.

[@cordesrecords]

Thanks Ken! And yes we all have different tastes!! 😂

[@ccarney1126]

I defy anyone to try and pin you down to a musical taste. That’s a nice diverse selection. There are definitely a few on here that I have never heard of before. I will check them out. Thanks

[@cordesrecords]

😅 No metal. No opera 😂 Yet.

[@tudormiller887]

Hello Katie. ❤ the video, great selection. 👍

[@cordesrecords]

Je viens de découvrir votre chaîne avec ce Top 2024, j'adore votre classement.

[@cordesrecords]

Merci!!

[@dprice81]

Nice diverse list of music. I'm going have to check out the ones I don't know. I like that Crowded House record. I might have to expand my list to top 25. 😅. My list is probably the most diverse list you may find. It includes jazz, country, metal, punk, ska, rock, folk, jam, funk, surf rock/psychedelic and pop. I am normally not one to listen to country, jazz, metal, or pop but found some incredible exceptions this year. Or I must have expanded and opened my listening brain. Maybe both. 😂 1 Disco Biscuits-Revolution In Motion 2. Lotus-How To Dream In Color, 3. Beebadoobee-This Is How Tomorrow Moves 4.Lawrence-Family Business, 5. David Gilmour-Luck & Strange 6.Johnnie Blue Skies-Passage Du Desir 7. Smashing Pumpkins-Aghori Mhori Mei 8. King Gizzard & Lizard Wizard-Flight B741 9. The Warning-Keep Em Fed 10. Yam Yam-Slurp Slurp 11. Unleash The Archers-Phantoma 12. Liam Gallagher & John Squire-S/T 13. Krang-Listens To Krang Once 14. Phish-Evolution 15. Half Past Two- Talk Is Killing Me 16. Shabaka-Perceive It's Beauty, Acknowledge It's Grace 17. MJ Lenderman-Manning Fireworks 18. Father John misty-Mashamanna 19. Charlie Crockett-$10 Cowboy 20. Bonny Light Horseman-Keep Me On Your Mind/See You Free 21. Daffodil Pill-S/T 22. Naima Bock-Below A Massive Dark Land

Hello, I love your videos and how you explain why you love what you listen to. I have a lot of same albums that I agree with you on my top favorite albums of 2024, and I'm currently excited to hear a few more thanks to your video. If I may, if you haven't heard Magdalena Bay's "Imaginal Disk," it's an album that completely took over my ears for 2024. Based on what you listen to, I have a feeling you'd really enjoy it. Anyways, thanks for the video. :D

[@garnetnewton-wade4091]

Tot agree about Zach Bryan it's a fabulous album.

[@cordesrecords]

Thank you!

[@njalbrekke4861]

Geordie Greep - The New Sound is my best album of the year

[@cordesrecords]

Im hoping for it for Christmas. It's on my "list" ;)

[@hjones451]

I've managed to hold onto 100+ vinyl albums that I bought in the 70's. Amazingly some still have the price stickers, costing from £1.50p

[@cordesrecords]

You will have some gems!!

@@cordesrecords lots are still available on CD, so most have survived the test of time. When I last checked values my Hotlegs (later became 10cc) album that opened out as a school desk was top.

Great choice’s enjoyed watching, check out Bryony Williams debut album you are here will be released February 25 Happy Christmas 🎸👍

[@cordesrecords]

Will do.

[@Dave-hb7lx]

Guess I have some listening to do. Wish you would have included Aurora's "What Happen to the Heart". Love Jacob Collier but wasn't big on 4. BTW, did you see Jacob and Aurora's collaboration from couple months ago? A Rock Somewhere and The Seed done for Greenpeace in the Arctic. Please check it if you haven't, best collab of year. And strongly recommend band named KALANDRA released album titled "Frame of Mind" just this past Sept. Beautiful album, #1 for me.

[@cordesrecords]

Wow I will check that out! Thanks for recco

@@cordesrecords Another, I thought might have been release in 23 but it was 2024 is "Cacophony" by Paris Paloma. The single off the album "Labour" was huge.

Hi there just came across your channel. Always love to see and hear from fellow aussies :) Zach Bryans album has been on high rotation for me since its release. He is such a wonderfult storyteller.

[@cordesrecords]

Oh fantastic! So few Aussies watch my vids! Thanks mate :)🎉

[@maxwellhammerisilver]

@cordesrecords it's great to see our country represented. There are so many great Australian musicians they need to be showcased. Look forward to watching your videos. Have just finished the Christmas album one, I want that Linda Ronstadt album haha will need to pick it up!

I wish in these ranking videos that the titles and info were listed in the comments.

[@cordesrecords]

Would people watch the video though 🤪

[@mountart2]

@@cordesrecords Of course they would. And then they would checkout your picks. Took me like forever to figure out Bryan's album, which I wanted to check out) as the KZbin transcript got it (and most of the other names) wrong. Any way, that's my 49c, and I'm stickin' to it! 😜

Hello there!

[@RonTalksRock]

Wonderful list of albums! My choice for best Record is; ‘Dark Matter’ Pearl Jam As a Rock Guy, I was so satisfied by this long awaited PJ album…check it out, if you haven’t. There is a range of songs to attract people even outside the RnR genre. ✌️

[@cordesrecords]

Almost made my list! But not quite! But agree it’s an amazing listen.

Oh I love Tori Amos - will need to check that out.

@cordesrecords you will love it for sure. The double cd version contains 16 tracks, most of them not the most popular, but fantastic. Hidden gems like here in my head, sister Janet, Ruby thru the looking glass...

No sadly :)

Not being an emotionalist a lot of these things don't appeal to me. But as regards Jon Batiste, I can only quote jazz great and drummer Art Blakey: "Don't change the classics. Those dudes were hipper than you'll ever be. Play them as they are written or leave them alone." But I'm going to continue checking out this list. As someone who's spent some amount of time in actual cowboy bars in Arizona, I'm interested in the last one.

[@cordesrecords]

Really appreciate the honesty of your view. Can’t say I’ve ever been in a a cowboy bar. 😂 Still love the album!!

[@TheTomryan123]

@@cordesrecords So you gotta come visit Prescott, Arizona, USA. Got some bars that are 165 years old and were hang outs for Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday.. The town is built around a large town square with the county courthouse in the middle. Two streets facing the courthouse are known as Whiskey Row. Everything's in the mountains with pine forests, lakes, some high desert area, herds of elk. One of the nicest places I've been to.
