True. I doubt many people went out of their way for it. But it was a childhood bucket list thing and I liked that people heard me sharing new and forgotten music, whether they liked it or not
Nope

This shows how little I like what's being pushed out as hard/heavy rock these days. It feels programmed, fake and predictable. I've probably heard 20-30 second clips of half of those 27 "?" songs and went "meh!" and moved on.
I have to dig to really find hard/heavy stuff that I like, and those songs rarely get big. I have 19 heavy songs I liked this year and only 3 of them are on this list - and none of those three even made my top 50. Where's Chevelle? Dinosaur Pile-up? House Of Protection? All three of those groups had two songs on my list.
Good/ok 3
****
16. Mayday – Three Days Grace my #60 song of 2025
18. Satanized – Ghost my #63 song of 2025

7. God Is A Weapon – Falling In Reverse/Marilyn Manson in my 76+ list (not worth ranking)

I was a bit behind, I was going to post the top 30 sometime soon. Thanks for posting it.
I like a a lot of those songs. It's sort of hard for me to rank some of them.
You have a 2025 favorite song list?
Yep! I'm Ca-sad Ka-child. And these are my top 95 songs of 2025. I've made it up to #56, but first - a long distance dedication to a dog named Snuggles.
