My Top 25 Favorite Songs of 2023
As already chronicled in my best albums lists, there were a lot of really good albums in 2023. So, here are my favorite songs from those albums and elsewhere. As usual, it's an eclectic list, you won't find any radio songs or hits of any kind here. These are primarily just my favorite song from my favorite albums. On some of those albums, there are numerous songs that could be on the list, just filled with great songs. However, I have have limited the list to include just one song (my overall favorite) from any album, so as to include as many different artists as possible.
