Throwback: Q4 Alternative music 2025

 

It's wild how different the songs that basically in the fall, the top 10 songs were a completely different set of songs than the winter. My favorite in the fall were like One Eyed Bastard, Barbarian, and like Even If It Kills Me where this winter I like Apologies but I am unfamiliar with a lot of the songs..

are theses going to be the songs of the year this year? the summer had similar songs to the fall as well? I wonder if all these guys are touring or doing the festival routes.

its crazy, I wonder who will be next up because it feels like bands at least the arena shows have been like the dad rock genre not quite legacy acts still. personally I love Sleep Theory and Dayseeker and Palaye Royale but who knows if others say so. 

even the alt guys at like Coachella and bonnaroo are acts like The Dare and such but has a whole bunch of well established acts like The Strokes and Modest Mouse. 

these are the top songs of the second half of the year, completely different set of songs than the first half which were songs from the year before, theses are all from the year 2025

love these songs, the contract is the songs where I can eventually see twenty one pilots partner or feature on an EDM song, house or like idk, I can see it though. I know they started off like a beastie boy type with band x r&b but there is a vision. The Lumineers is so calming love them and same with Green Day, great band since the beginning.
