Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2024. Our next list is from DJ Peter Buckshot.

2024. A year that historians will point at with some scrutiny for some reason or another. A year in which my son can string together a sentence like "On Skibidi I'm about to crash out on you" and I'm somehow able to translate it as if I am also a 10 year old boy. A year in which I listened to these 10 albums that I truly enjoyed and resonated with on some pseudo-spiritual level.

Honorable Mentions

While I do believe that year end lists have become a form of validation that people use to make their personal taste in music a fact instead of an opinion. I would hope that my list is used as a springboard to try something new and maybe find an album or a band that you haven't heard of and I hope you enjoy them.
