Let Us Know Your Thoughts!
This is it — the final episode in our Top 25 Albums of 2025 series!
Craig and Kevin kick things off with their “Soundtrack to… Boxing Day” — a curated playlist that reflects the calm, the leftovers, the quiet reflection, and the random chaos of December 26.
Then, it’s time for a holiday-themed edition of Dig It, Dump It, or Don’t Get It, where Craig tosses Kevin a stocking full of musical and cultural curveballs.
Finally, the guys reveal their Top 5 Albums of the Year, capping off a multi-week countdown full of deep cuts, bold picks, and plenty of discovery.
