98 WOOF's Top 35 Albums/EP's of 2025.

#1 - The End - MammothWVH ☆☆☆☆☆

Wolf Van Halen released his 3rd album on October 24th, and it is awesome! Wolf has carved out his own path in the Rock world. This guy is super talented, and like the first two albums, he played every instrument and sings. Way better than.....well just listen to 'I Really Wanna', and connect the dots. I also love this whole record. 'One Of A Kind', 'The Spell', 'Better Off', 'Happy', and 'The End', really stand out for me though. He also puts on a great show. Go see him in these small places now, because he'll be headlining arenas before long.

#2 - Blessed - Crack The Sky ☆☆☆☆☆

The 2nd Crack The Sky release this year! Officially released on November 28th, the new album, their 21st, was a complete surprise to me. They will always have a spot on my countdowns. As you know, I've been a huge fan of this band since I was 11yo when their debut was released in 1975. After 50 years, they are still putting out incredible music, and touring to back it up. I love this whole album, but the first single, 'Imagination', along with 'Kiss The Dog', and 'Blessed', 'Brain Police ', 'I Can't Walk On Water', 'Artificial Man', 'It's All In My Head', and 'The Dance' are my faves.

#5 - Live Perpetual Change - Jon Anderson and The Band Geeks ☆☆☆☆1/2

I missed the chance to see this show, in my own backyard in Wilmington, Delaware, at the Grand Opera House. To me, Jon Anderson is the best one to sing these Yes songs. The Band Geeks are SOOOO good, you don't even notice the difference. Released March 25th. Lots of LIVE albums this year....
