We could just start a new one, and maybe they can just merge the 2 and nuke this thread?

It’s time to make a run at this with Zwang-era jams. Tried to be picky, but I’m sure I missed some great things in the process…

95 contenders for JOTY out of 75 shows played. UM must be crushing it this year.

List was compiled as the shows happened. Every year I do this and grab a few from each show that stick out to be whittled down. Obviously there aren’t 95 “outstanding jams” but there are 95 worth a listen.

TBH, I’m struggling to think of what I’d consider the JOTY/Myers version. BTL from 4/5 and WTWIRDYMtBoWSA from the same show is first to mind. I’m gonna beat the drum on Puppet Strings from 8/21 as the JOTY as a whole to tho.
