<p>Fediverse AOTY List – So Fedi, what albums got your attention in 2025? 🎧 🎶 </p><p>Once again we’re compiling a Fediverse-wide, community-sourced Albums-of-The-Year (AOTY) list, of the albums – from any year – that rocked our worlds and got us through the last 12 months!</p><p>About 60 of us joined in last year and people seemed to like the idea of doing another round this year, so here we are! The call is open from now until the end of the year, then around New Years I’ll do up a blog post on the 1001 Other Albums site with the final list, complete with links to find the albums. You in?</p><p>The Rules:</p><p>1) Anyone with an account in the Fediverse can participate. I’ll include each submitter’s username in the final list, leaving off the instance unless asked to keep it in.</p><p>2) Reply/DM to this post with your top album(s) of the year, to a MAXIMUM of 3 per person. I also accept emails (johnmastodon@1001otheralbums.com) if you include your Fediverse username. You can also reply to the parallel toot on the automated account <a href="https://linernotes.club/@1001otheralbums.com@1001otheralbums.com" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="linernotes.club/@1001otheralbums.com@1001otheralbums.com"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">linernotes.club/@1001otheralbu</span><span class="invisible">ms.com@1001otheralbums.com</span></a>.</p><p>👉 “Top” is absolutely however you want to define it – favourite, most listened to, most personally important, most thought about, most surprising find, representative of an artist you really got into, etc.👈 </p><p>👉 “Of the year” does NOT have to mean the album was released in 2025. Your submissions can come from ANY year, so long as it was key in your 2025 listening.👈 </p><p>3) The final list won’t be ranked or voted on, and will simply be ordered alphabetically. Multiple entries for the same album are most welcome and will be noted in the final list.</p><p>4) Notes/reasons for your picks aren’t necessary but totally welcome and, if included with your submission, I’ll probably put them in the footnotes like last year.</p><p>Feel free to boost this as widely as possible, I'd love as many people to join in as would like.</p><p>In the meantime, we’ll continue going through our 1001 Other Albums list and will have a handful of regular spotlights before the final Fedi AOTY list is posted. Also, a reminder that we're doing a Fedi-sourced blog post on January 8 celebrating the 10th anniversary of Bowie's Blackstar album - check out the pinned toot for details if you'd like to join in on that as well! 😎 </p><p>Until then, hope you’re all enjoying AOTY season and (re)finding some great albums to get you through the rest of the year. </p><p><a href="/tags/aoty/" rel="tag">#AOTY</a> <a href="/tags/aoty2025/" rel="tag">#AOTY2025</a> <a href="/tags/askfedi/" rel="tag">#AskFedi</a> <a href="/tags/bestof2025/" rel="tag">#BestOf2025</a> <a href="/tags/yearinreview/" rel="tag">#YearInReview</a> <a href="/tags/music/" rel="tag">#music</a> <a href="/tags/1001otheralbums/" rel="tag">#1001OtherAlbums</a></p>
