Gotta add Staircase 2/7. Relisten just took me for a ride. Rare to have Bayliss and Jake both at their A game and trading off leading sections of a jam like that.

An actual bounce back too! Those seem exceedingly rare lately.

Since when does every show have JOTY material?

When I had nothing better to do with my life.

If people are serious about picking a JOTY at the end of the year, I’ll parse the list down starting after Suwanee, and we can vote through polls. In the meantime, I’m just trying to make a playlist of stuff that didn’t suck.

I view it as candidates, plus this playlist might make it easier for us to vote when it comes to HOF 2026

2026 is the GOAT

Summary

Tell me to fuck off @SchladopianFir . I love a big obnoxious playlist as much as anyone

Don’t mind the honorable mentions playlist

So far at this stage, the 2/13 Unevolved is JOTY

2/7 Piranhas or 2/13 Pure Saturation for me.

Pirahnas and No Diablo are up there for me. The most recent Ringo is getting better with each listen too.

Non reply comment - I’m gonna spend the weekend parsing down the list by eliminating repeats, followed by eliminating picks from the same show. Any suggestions is helpful.
