Can’t wait to start posting my December artist! Here’s a teaser: there’s just 1 degree of separation with Phil — considering their major collaborations — and the music will be mostly instrumental

#MusicChallenge #20SongsByYear #2021Music

For this November challenge, I’m sticking with recent years — just going back four, to 2021.

Expect a mix of modern prog, art rock, cinematic pop… and a few unexpected turns along the way (but we don’t talk about that song)

#ArtistFave15 November is for Phil

Like Peter Gabriel, I first knew the artist before Genesis, which became my favourite band. But unlike Gabriel, it took longer to appreciate Collins until after I became a Genesis fan. Though I still prefer him in the band, a few of his solo songs I hold highly.

2025 music review 🎧

Not an AOTY list — just sharing songs that stood out to me from albums I’ve heard this year. No rankings, just moments that caught my ear.

Mostly Prog and a bit of alternative music.

Saga are a Canadian rock band from Oakville, Ontario who broke out in the late 70s/early 80s with a sleek, keyboard-driven sound.

With Michael Sadler’s vocals, Jim Crichton’s bass/keys, and Ian Crichton’s guitar, they blended prog complexity with arena rock hooks.

Albums that caught my attention in the Prog, Alternative, and Hard Rock scenes this Q3.

Anticipated releases included Styx, Green Carnation, and Ihlo.

Recommended debut: Agropelter

I also explored bands outside my comfort zone, like Amorphis and BTBAM, and found a couple of tracks to enjoy.

The opening track may rank higher for most fans, but I found the rest of the record even stronger. Still, it’s powerful enough not to be one of the 3 I left out.

Saved for last: the most emotional song on this list, and my all-time favorite from Anathema. A perfect ending with a song that never fails to give me goosebumps.
