Mojo Albums of the Year 2024

 


Five days to Christmas and we start the nnual run downs. I can't face listening to either Jack White or Nick Cave's albums I confess. I suspect I'd find both rather depressing. There's nothung wrong with inner anguish but I personally find both rather lrepetitive. Perhaps I'm missing something but I find these placings largely political decisions in mysic magazines these days. 16 of these are in my own Top Fify. Many more in my longer list.
