Adam Beaudoin's 15 Favorite Albums of 2025

by Adam Beaudoin
January 8, 2026

Year-end lists are a strange creature, as conceptually absurd as they are genuinely useful. They contend to distill a year's worth of recorded music into “the very best," a laughably conceited claim for any one listener or editorial board, no matter how erudite and steeped in the music, to make.
