Best CDs of 2025 According to an Old Guy Who Only Bought 6 of Them
Hi, I’m Hungry-Man-Sized Casey Kasem and welcome to another music listicle, but not a Top Ten because I didn't buy that many! As part of my annual series of chronically late year-in-review entries, I remain one of six people nationwide who still prefers compact discs to digital downloads. My hangups about vinyl would require a separate essay unto themselves, though I finally waded into some of that last year. My new-album splurges are rare because: (a) it’s increasingly tougher for new music to catch my ear as I grow older and more finicky; and (b) my favorite yesteryear acts died, stopped recording, or swiveled in directions away from me. That usually means missing out on what majorities loves, thus further dropping me down the bottomless wishing well into total irrelevance as chronicled on this very website, thirteen years and counting. In 2025 I got six brand new studio albums, omitting any pre-2025 finds or gifts. It can be fun to walk past the cool-collectors’ vinyl bins to the way-back by the T-shirt rack and pick through what passes for in-person CD sections today, though I’m seeing diminishing returns as those get smaller and dustier, sometimes not even alphabetized. More often than not, More and more, I'm resorting to online disc-shopping because all of Indy's coolest stores are on other sides of town faraway from us, and the stores we stumble across in our road trips aren't stocking new stuff I like. Or maybe it's all selling out before I come in? I wouldn't know, but I feel like these artists would be much bigger today if that were the case. Nevertheless, on with the countdown! […] -

Zen Arcade
#huskerdu #zenarcade #80srock #bobmould #hardcorepunk #indierock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #altrock #alternativerock Husker Du's take on "the grass isn't always greener" via their 2nd album released July 1, 1984. It's a conceptual rock opera -- following the young teen who runs away from an abusive home only to find it's really hard out there -- drugs, goofy relationships, religion -- only we find out it's all a damn nightmare.

HUSKER DU
Zen Arcade
2025 U.S. 2xLP reissueSaturday night lively.
An absolute magnum opus, and a mind-boggling masterpiece.
It seems a bit cheap to call what Husker Du did “punk”.
It was always so much more than that.None of their contemporaries were doing what they were doing at the level they were doing it at.
The fury, yes.
But also the melodies, the songwriting, the absolute surgeon-like skill from all three dudes on their instruments.
Not just ONE brilliant songwriter in Mould, but TWO of them, with Grant Hart as well.A desert island album for me, for sure, and probably the one I re-listen to the most on a year to year basis.
I need to find a replacement OG pressing. Mine is beat to shit from my 30 years of spinning it.
This reissue’s good though.#vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #retro #vintage #art #music #analog #punk #hardcore #huskerdu #zenarcade #1980s #80s #80sMusic #BobMould #granthart #gregnorton #minneapolis #minnesota #artrock
