Top Ten 2025

[Wyvern]

Is that time of the year again, and many know the drill, but just in case.

Write your top (10 minimum if possible, no maximum) list of albums, concerts, videos, for 2025.
No bashing, no hit and run comments, all lists are valid.

I post mine usually on Dec 31, but anyone who like put it before is welcome. This thread will be "sticky" until Feb 2025 and then will have its own rotation.
