Honorable mentions
Here are just a few honorable mentions that didn’t make the list. I only picked one song per band, which is why True Blue didn’t make the list. The National had two great albums in 2023, so a number of their songs could have made this list, too.
- True Blue – boygenius
- Eucalyptus – The National
- Aselestine – Yo La Tengo
- Force 10 From Navarone – Sleaford Mods with Florence Shaw
- The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte – Sparks
- pawnshop – Kara Jackson
