My votes were, from most recent back:
2019
2018 (big year for me, some outstanding singles, same recency argument)
2013 (fave album of C21)
2007 (switch from 2010 as would rather pick faves by Ri and Robyn than be spoiled for choice; also enjoyed doing it for #MyYearInMix)
2004 (bangerville)
I featured this song for #MyYearInMix last year, and went into detail on why it's my top tune by a defunct band I'll never stop gushing about to anyone who will listen. bsky.app/profile/atcl...
I did a whole thread on this song for #MyYearInMix last year...
Definitely lots of really fun stuff from '65 (my #MyYearInMix from last year), but I'm intrigued by '75 ...

It's wonderful, bittersweet, and nostalgic to revisit this era a quarter-century later. I have a wider perspective and more experience and knowledge, yet music doesn't often feel as immediate and important anymore.
