Best Music of 2023 Awards 

Thank you Mr. The Snare I can finally listen to music from this year

This series is genuinely one of my favorites on RU-vid. Idk what it is but just having a concise highlight reel celebrating the year in music is so fun to go through. Happy to see you're keeping it going!!

Daft Punk's marketing team was having a home run celebration of 10 years of RAM until they said "you know what, FUCK drums!" and now everybody resents them

12:20 Mr. Snare will not stand for an album where they no longer mic'd the snare I love it

Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess was on repeat the entire end of the year. Chappell Roan is an amazing artist and performer. I got to see her in October and I just know I’ll never be able to see her in that small of a venue again. She needs to blow up.

Thank you Mr. The Snare for acknowledging our Eurovision 1993 reps, Ms. Electronica and Mr. Timez

Chappell Roan is soo good thank you for spreading the gospel! I think she'll really blow up after Olivia Rodrigos GUTS tour

The Black Rainbows appreciation is SO good, thanks for that! More people need to listen to that one, it rules.

My favorite opening track of this year was absolutely De Selby Part 1 - Hozier. That transition into Part 2 makes me start floating the second I hear it Edit: I also wanted to say I really love First Light as a closing track. I highly recommend the album Unreal Unearth to anyone who reads this and hasn’t listened to it!

The Yukika, Chappell Roan, DJ Sabrina the Teenage DJ, and Yves Tumor shoutouts! I cannot overstate just how much I look forward to these lists every year. It's not just the snappy editing and clever quips, I always walk away with a wealth of new music to check out. Can't wait for the top 10 list to drop!

1:56 I agree that Troye Sivan’s “Got Me Started” really should not work, but it really does and is such an ear worm EDIT: I mostly listen to Pop and am not a music nerd who knows many artists from multiple genres; i respect them but could never gain that wide of enthusiasm. It was nice to see Troye Sivan, New Jeans (I am not on TikTok, so it might already be overplayed, but give “ditto” a chance it’s nostalgic in such an addicting way), and Chappell Roan (I was listening to that album yesterday; “casual” is narratively engaging) have a mention.

i saw the "best opening tracks" category and immediately i was like "okay he has heard 3D Country surely he shouts out 2122 here" and the very next song was 2122. Well deserved, it's a crazy opener that sets the tone for the rest of the album.

Can’t believe A&W won the prestigious “Best ???” award, so happy for Lana 🥲

Chappell Roan's The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess is my favorite album of the year and I'm so glad it got referenced in this

I listened to the Corinne Bailey Rae album after watching this video and it was DEFINITELY a highlight from this year I almost missed. Thank you very much for your service Mr. The Snare 🙏

I completely understand the Pregnant Goat Award for this year. I just saw the album appear on my recommendations when it first released and immediately thought, “Why?”

Glad to see some Paramore love! This Is Why might be my album of the year. It's definitely in the top 5. What a great year it's been for them too!

Best opening track for me was De Selby part 1 + part 2 by Hozier, absolutely my jam. I feel like no one talked about that album except for me and my friends...

HELLMODE by Jeff Rosenstock is my personal AOTY. The best I’ve heard from any pop punk artist in a long time.

Album of the year for me is DEFINITELY The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess but I'm excited to check out all the rest of the stuff on this list I haven't heard yet!!

i just know working on those clean asf transitions was fun as hell

YES to Caroline Polachek, Chappell Roan and The Japanese House! You have good taste.

I can't stop listening to Cowboy Nudes, glad to see I'm not the only one who loves those harmonies. So excited for this whole vid, I get so many cool recs.

the perfect definition for A&W i'm dying

As someone who almost exclusively listens to Kpop, your best of lists are a great way for me to check out new music/artists I wouldn’t usually encounter. Thank you for your videos, I love them

Gotta love shoutouts to Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Hideki Naganuma he is probably my favourite video game composer with JSR having my favourite game soundtrack of all time. Eternally underrated even if everyone knows it lol

This is the second time Mic the Snare put me on a years worth of music

I look forward to this video every year, time to see what amazing music i missed this year, thank so much for doing this Michael t snare :)

Im so glad someone finally appreciates the got me started sample. Ive been obsessed all year

I LOVE YOU FOR OPENING AND CLOSING THIS VIDEO WITH KNOWER!!! I just discovered them this year and I love everything Louis Cole and his merry band of musicians touch!

Mr. The Snare you have the best underrating of what a bop and a banger is

Galaxy-brain hot take: The Drumless edition is Daft Punk's parting gift to remixers, allowing us to make the Alive 2017 that never was

This is one of my favorite videos every year, because like MAN, I thought I kept up pretty well this year but Mr. Snare is always here to let me know I actually have no idea where to find good music and catches me up on all the kino I missed. Thank you Mr. the Snare 🙏

That transition from The BLACK seminole. to A Spell, A Prayer in 8:47 Wow, that couldn't have been accidental

MODEL/ACTRIZ!!! Such a good album. I saw them at a 20 person show in Burlington and that legit was one of the most amazing shows of all time. They already sound amazing on the album but it is 50x better live. This is something you have to listen to

My absolute favorite song (I think you would classify it as a "banger") is Begin again by Jessie Ware. The last two minutes on the album version are a level of pay off that was unmatched for me in music this year

This video was so much fun, I always look forward to these. I just wanted to listen to every song/album on your list as soon as it came up, and I had heard very few before now. Thank you!

A list including YUKIKA, MSPAINT and McKinley Dixon is for sure a goated one!

The Connie Bailey Rae record has me wanting to check out more of her stuff cause this is some wild music for someone with a coffeehouse hit from the 2000’s

That transition from Yachty to Corinne was GODLY. great wrap up as always, Snare!

GROUPTHERAPY MENTIONED RAHHHHHHHH 🦅🦅🦅

THANK YOU MR. THE SNARE you're like the only music youtuber whose opinions I genuinely care abt and listen to, your year end lists are always super well thought out u inspire me to think about music more deeply thank you again from the bottom of my heart for everything you make

I look forward to this video every year. Fantastic awards and picks, can’t wait for the top 10!

i just vocally yelled 'oh shit' at the top of my lungs when i saw this notification. good job mr. snare

This video officially made me wanna try Chappelle Roan and the Ratboys. Thank you Mr. Snare!

Only discovered your channel a month ago, this music reel was such a delight to listen to :)

this seriously was such a good year for all different kinds of medias its insane

For a moment there I thought he was going to talk about Roger Water's new DSOTM

Just wanna say that this is my favorite year end video that I look foward to every year. Absolute banger every time

I love these videos, it's such a great way to experience music I missed throughout the year and introduce myself to new music. Ebony Eye from Yves Tumors 'Praise a Lord...' and Thick Skull from Paramore's 'This is Why' were my favourite album closers this year, disappointed they weren't here!

editing goated as always. thank u mr. the snare

RAM Drumless us a record I like mainly because I knew what I was getting into; it's a neat little bonus, nothing more, nothing less. As a DJ it's also nice just to have official decent stems.

Awesome sauce!!!

i’m late but i love your music taste and can’t wait for next year’s. thank you for all your hard work this year! you’re one of my favorite people on this platform

Ah, my favorite time of year. End of year music lists - so much I likely missed but some bangers and hits I didn't completely miss out on! Thank you Mic

Love this format. Gave my playlists some new goodies!

Fly to you is one of those tracks that I’m physically unable to skip when it comes on

I wait for these videos every year!

As always, a lovely mix of familiar faves and a big bag of fresh tracks I can't wait to dive into! Tbh, this is better than Christmas for me. Thank you for introducing me to so many favorite artists I'd never know otherwise! (I know this sounds like a chatbot but I promise I'm a real human Mr. Mic 🥺 just trying to spread some joy!) Also speaking of Tears of the Wild, did you know the Zelda games are apparently considered retro now? Yeah, I'm crying too.

Great video!

My favourite album this year was Council Skies by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

Can't lie Mr. Snare the bangers felt more like bops and the bops felt more like bangers on this one.

I don't know what it is but lately mic has peppered in more homestead runner references in to his videos. It's like he rewatched some archival footage or something.

Thank you cause I needed new music!

YAAAAYY i look forward to this video every year :)

NOOO NOT DRUMLESS RAM 😭😭😭 also one of my favorite albums of the last 15 years. I missed this release. And… god why??? Least necessary is a perfect way of putting it 😭

Thank you again for the only end of year list that matters. Still need to catch up on the last two years haha.....

I lovei love this format. Very satisfying way for me to see what you thought of music for the year.

This was awesome. Great video idea!

Great playlist!! Thanks for pulling together. My Spotify Wrapped doesn’t have anything on this.

OMG I was literally just listening to your best music of 2022 playlist !!

Love the transition between lil yachty and corrine bailey rae u did in the opening tracks section that was a great touch

IVE BEEN WAITING ALL YEAR FOR THIS, HELL YEAH!

the perfect video to watch while in the waiting room at the dentist 🔥🔥🔥

I love Pink pony girl from Chappelle Roan, it serves a similar purpose in my personal soundtrack as "perfect" from one direction.

Glad you included Ciao Papa it’s amazing from GDT Pinocchio! Wish you included some King Gizzard stuff.

the yukika soul lady inclusion made my jaw drop.. incredible work mr. snare

i appreciate so much that you very accurately identify bops, bangers and jams apart from each other

So glad you shouted out Remi Wolf’s cover/remix of Paramore’s “You First”

thanks for this

love these videos Mic! thanks for putting me onto Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl, what a great song.

So happy for this list!

Thank u Mr The Snare! Always blown away by the quality of your videos and the work that you put into them. You’ve become one of my absolute favorite creators. I hope you’ve had an amazing 2023! P.S. LOVE THAT YOU MENTIONED BAYONNE

your lack of videos summing up your thoughts on recently-released albums is still a bummer just cause your thoughts are always entertaining to hear about, but i totally get it. and hey, we still get these. love these. end-of-year list season rules and in terms of music, you do it the best IMO. been waiting to hear you praise the caroline polachek album all year

Some great picks here, so much music I never heard and need to get onto.

I have my last day at work before christmas tomorrow so this playlist is perfectly timed to get me through it, ty mr snare

9:45 I've kept hearing pieces of that song on radio ads through this year but bever the full thing and without mentioning its name or artist, so thanks for showing the latter here. Now I can look it up.

My most anticipated video of the year!

I was always aware of the Prince Batman album but didn’t listen to it in full until this year and it’s amazing!

I am finally going to listen to music from this year thanks to this video

Your channel is a reminder why i love music, thanks!

I really like these videos as a companion to your album of the year lists. Top tens are fun and a good place to talk about the things you really liked, but videos like this are a way to show off more of your music taste. I think that’s healthy for anyone to do. Most years I haven’t listened to any of your top ten albums, but I accept that we have different tastes, and I think that’s a much easier viewpoint for people to have when you step back (i.e. make this video) and show that you have a much wider taste in music than just what is represented by the top ten. I see where our tastes overlap, I see the stuff that I might have missed; the stuff you didn’t put in your top ten but maybe I would have put it in mine had I heard it earlier. There’s a lot of good reasons for these videos to exist.

Thank you mic

yay it's here!!!

Seeing "Psychedelic switch" on this list is just so right. What a song.

Agree that "Running out of Time" by Paramore was a best banger this year. I've never had a better time dancing in my car while also being faced with the fact that I'm letting everyone down.

This is one of my most anticipated video of the year and it never disapoints

I love these videos everytime they get released! I end up finding new or older artists I've missed out on & start taking notes of what to check out & listen to 📝 😂 I just started listening to Black Rainbows by Corrinne Bailey Rae & I can't stop listening to the opening track "A Spell, A Prayer" on repeat 😍 It scratches that itch in my brain somehow & now lives rent free in my head. Once I'm able to finish that album though I'm definitely checking out YUKIKA, Chappel Roan, & Hotline TNT! They sound right up my alley

So glad to see Geese here. Fave album this year was 3D Country Same goes with Model/Actriz

THIS LIST ATE
