Here are some more of my favorite albums of 2023 - those that did not make my Top 25 list
There were a lot of really good albums in 2023, many more than could fit in the Top 25. So, here are more albums that I really enjoyed in 2023. These are all good to very good albums, but just were not quite the very best (top 25) of the year. These all deserve more comment and commentary, but unfortunately, I was just not able to get to review them more properly (just didn't have time). But here is a listing of more high quality albums from 2023, with just a designation of the category or type of music they represent. These are not exactly ranked, but are somewhat vaguely in descending order of how much I liked them, and are also divided into the general categories of Prog and Non-Prog (as is apparent, most of what I listened to fell somewhat in the general category of Prog or prog-related). Regardless, quite a lot of fine music to check out.
