Stevie Nicks - The Lighthouse. This caught my attention because I hadn't seen anything from her in such a long time and then she presents such a powerful message.

This 2024 I started listening to dub music and I'm simply fascinated by this song: Satta by King Tubby

 

[Doodski]

I thought it had to be released in 2024, to me that makes most sense for a thread, haven't read later replies to see if this is what was intended by this thread. Surely music released in 2024, and I've purposefully not voted for music people have shown that was made earlier than 2024.

@amirm stated clearly that earlier is OK. The post has been reposted at least 2 or 3 more times.

Oh boy, those threads always force me to go down the yearly memory lane and actually think of a song that always came back to me and isn't just "the latest song I like". Turns out, it's this one I heard the most. Not lately, but this thread is about 2024 as a whole, right ?

It was wonderful to return to the Sibelius Hall in Finland for the first time since the COVID lockdown this year, and be reminded of its excellent acoustics. Dalia Stasevska was conducting, and it's to her husband, Lauri Porra, a great-grandson of Sibelius, and his Requiem Mundi from Matter and Time I choose as my favourite track of the year. Here is Dalia conducting it:

Lauri Porra - Requiem Mundi

Beautiful.

Probably a little way off the rest of the choices here, but hey isnt difference a wonderful thing. My artist of the year is Chappell Roan, anything of the album, but this one gets you moving and is fun for the world we inhabit at the moment. Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl

For me Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me) has to be a great listen to track with the added bonus that in January 2025 several plants will align (including Jupiter) a sight to behold….

Acoustic track that I'm addicted to listen. The final bass-drums solo itss just psychedelic it's like a take off closed your eyes with your hifi stereo

Thing is, the question was what track really captured one's heart. François Couperin's suites consist of lots of short works and the Angela Hewitt collections of Couperin place the works out of order, though she is not the first to do so. And that little piece really did capture my heart.

I have seen fellow Canadian, Angela Hewitt, in performance 3 times over the years. Ms. Hewitt is most famous for her 'Well Tempered Clavier' recordings, which I have in my CD collection. I will definitely have a listen to the Couperin suites.
But as far as my comment on classical, sure there are pieces that can be included, but so much can not. Yuja Wang was impressive, as always, this past year, in the Prokofiev concertoes, but they can't be included. It would be better to have a separate thread for classical.

I hope it's okay to comment on these selections. The 'Little Blue' track was in our 'gesprek best videos list' in 2023, so not really 2024. But he did release this in 2024, among other things. Note: not submitting for votes, please vote for Little Blue above.

And this one:

And quite a few other tracks, including one recently with Cold Play.

I just learned about Swans earlier this year, and this track is one that I have been listening to repeatedly throughout the entire 2024.

Tidal has her three collections of the music of François Couperin. I'm sure other streaming services have them as well. I've also heard her performances of the Well-Tempered Clavier and Goldberg Variations this year, both among the best piano versions.
