Unofficial Best of 2023 (as of 12.24.23)

It has been awhile since I posted this list. I will be posting the final list in the first week of January. Not completely sure but I will probaly keep the number of albums to 60 because there was so much great music that came out in 2023. I originally posted this list in late October, since then I had heard over a dozen and more new releases that I liked a lot.
