Throughout December, CHIRP Radio presents its volunteers’ top albums of 2024. Our next list is from CHIRP DJ / Director of "The First Time" Bobby Evers.

Shamefully, I struggle having as voracious an appetite for new artists as I get older, so I find I am just picking artists who I have liked for years or even decades in some cases.

This list is also impacted by Chappell Roan "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess" coming out in 2023 instead of 2024, as that was probably my #1 of the year, but doesn't count. I can brag that it was on my list last year, before it blew up or whatever.

My rubric for this list is just albums I listened to. So if you're like, how could you not have included Ben Folds "Sleigher" album?? I'm sorry, I'm sure it was his best in years, but I can't rank if it I didn't personally take the time to listen to it. That's on me! I will do better I promise!
