DiscotecaItalia « Blair Scott: Synthentral

As always, musicians gave us an amazing year of music!

If you missed the Top 100 & Top 50, here’s the rules I follow when putting together my lists:

I only rate albums: not EPs or singles. There are plenty of “top songs of 2023” lists out there.
I must own the album: either provided by the band/label, purchased by me, or obtained in a DJ pool.
The album must have at least seven original songs. Remixes, new versions, instrumentals, intro/outro/interlude, etc. do not count toward the seven songs. Compilation, “best of,” and cover albums do not count (a single cover on an album of otherwise original songs does count, though).
I rate each song individually, then the overall album. I rate songs and albums on listenability, danceability, club friendliness, and whether or not there are any songs I want to skip on an album.
Albums are weighted so an album with 12 songs doesn’t have an edge over an album with 8 songs or vice versa.
I post the Top 100 and Top 50 lists alphabetically by band. This way, listeners/readers won’t know who makes the next list(s). The Top 30 is posted in order from #30 to #1 and will be accompanied by a show with one song from each album.

My list is 100% subjective. I fully expect others to have different lists or disagree with my choices. I love that others have different lists and people are passionate about different bands and albums!

“LISTEN HERE” links are under each album, so give them a listen and support the bands you like!

It started with the Synthentral Top 100 for 2023.
Then it narrowed down to the Synthentral Top 50 for 2023!
Now it’s down to the Top 30, counting down from #30 to #1!
You can listen to one song from each album on my countdown show!
