RBJ’s 2024 Jams (Part Two!)
Since sending out my original list, I have come up with some additions—things that I either missed out on when they were released, or just forgot about when making the list. As on the original list, I just put them in alphabetical order, and releases in bold text are my top-tier favorites. (I’ve also added tracks from each of them to the accompanying playlist, which you can listen to here.)
