Best music written in the past 25 years?

The older I get, the further I drift from current music, so my pick goes back to 95. Also, as a caveat, I’m no musician and have no real understanding of the mechanics of music, I only know what I like. As such, my favorite song in that time period is probably Smashing Pumpkins Bullet with Butterfly Wings

If I take a little more time, I might come up with something else.

Southeastern by Isbell.

Son Volt - Trace (1995)

Since we're going down this road:

Wilco -Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

I originally interpreted this as the best writing compiled in an album over that period...saw I misunderstood, but decided to go with it. These would be on my list:


As mentioned before...SunVolt - Trace (1994)
Gillian Welch - Revelator (2001)
Robert Earl Keen - Gringo Honeymoon (1994)
Tom Petty - Wildflowers (1994)
Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road (1998)
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication (1994)


Had to look up the years they were released...1994 was an awesome year for music.






...hate it that Ten Summoner's Tales from Sting is a year too old for the timeline. It definitely would have made the cut.

STP just missed the time frame but, they could be on this list.
