Extended Echoes – The Best of Echoes 2025

The Best Albums of 2025 on Echoes. It’s a list unlike any other, which you should probably realize if you listen to Echoes.  We just experience a different world here in the Echoesphere.  It has been a beautifully tumultuous year for great music and we’ve compiled our list of 30 favorite albums from the Echoesphere. These are records that made us smile or made us think. We only got to hear the top 20 selections on the Echoes radio program for Monday, December 8 – only 20 because we can’t fit all 30 in our two-hour timeslot – especially when one artist is doing compositions that are 43 and 30 minutes long. But subscribers can hear a stream of all 30 right here.
