Thanks for the lists - that's a lot of music, right there, Randy ! From a brief scan, I recognise about one artist in 30, but me and my algorithm aren't really focused on new releases. So no 2025 recs of my own, I'm afraid.

Pop or punk?  Regardless, I like it!  Nice video.

^ You're right, that's a great song. If I had to put a label on it, I might've gone for "jangle pop".
