My Under The Radar Radio Top 10 Picks Of The Year for 2024
(has little to do with what other critics think. I like earworms)
10. Blushing - Sugarcoat (Shoegaze from Austin, Texas)
9. Valley - Water The Flowers, Pray For A Garden (Canadian hook-laiden indie pop)
8. MJ Lenderman - Manning Fireworks (A lot of critics put this near the top)
7. Nada Surf - Moon Mirror (Best album since 2005's The Weight Is A Gift)
6. The Cure - Songs of a Lost World (Few do grief as melodically as Robert Smith)
5. Liam Gallagher & John Squire - Liam Gallagher & John Squire (Manchester music royalty)
4. Waxahatchee - Tigers Blood (Can't wait to see her at Ann Arbor Folk Festival)
3. Fontaines DC - Romance (All four of their albums were in my Top 5 the years they came out)
2. X - Smoke & Fiction (What a way to go out. A blistering album that rocks as hard as when they were kids)
1. The Lemon Twigs - A Dream Is All We Know (I just love these guys. Sure, they are leaning on the 60s and 70s, but that's a great time period to lean on. If you like Big Star, The Beach Boys, The Byrds, Badfinger, The Hollies, even a little T Rex......)
