35 Wonderful Albums That Could Easily Have Been In- It Starts With a Birthstone - 200 Albums for 2024



During November and December on It Starts I've been mopping up great records that I've missed along the way. Scouring other end of year lists and giving as many as I can a listen.

It's been a great illustration if one is needed of how pointless drawing up lists of best records in the hope of something definitive at the end of a calendar year is in 2024. For every great record that you hear, there are always at least five that you haven't noticed or will probably not even hear. Any one of the 25 records listed below could have made my own list of 200. Several of them pretty damn high. So here we go. In no particular order. 
  1. Still House Plants - If I Don't Make It I Love U
  2. John Canning Yates - The Quiet Portraits
  3. Charles Lloyd - The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow
  4. Christopher Owens - I Wanna Run Barefoot Through Your Hair
  5. Myriam Gendron -Mayday
  6. Oisin Leech - Cod Sea
  7. Alan Sparhawk - White Roses, My God
  8. Johnny Blue Skies - Passage Du Desir
  9. Cassie Kinoshi's Seed - Gratitude
  10. The Black Crowes - Happiness Bastards
