These are my Top 10 Rock Albums of 2025.
This was one of the hardest lists I’ve had to put together because there was no clear-cut winner. Most of these albums are very close in terms of overall quality, and the rankings could honestly change depending on the day. This list features a mix of legendary legacy artists and a few newer names that I’ve only recently spent time with.
I’ll be doing Top 10 lists across multiple genres throughout December, so make sure you’re subscribed to the channel so you don’t miss any of the end-of-the-year coverage.
Below, I’ve listed all ten albums in alphabetical order.
👉 Watch the full video to see how I rank them and hear my full breakdown of each release.
