'Tis the season for reflection! As the year winds down, it's always fun to look back and see what ground we've covered in the last 12 months. And in one of our favorite traditions here at No Depression, we're asking our readers to tell us what music you loved most this year. Please fill out the form below and select from the nearly 600 titles we've tracked this year and let us know what you couldn't stop listening to!
A couple of ground rules to remember: we've capped the voting at 10 responses per voter. And although we encourage (and love!) bold music listening choices, this list is curated specifically to the roots music we cover.
One more thing: While you’re reflecting on the year that’s been, we humbly ask you to consider how No Depression has fit into your life and your listening in 2025. If we’ve turned you on to something great, or spread the word on an artist you already love, a tip would be a great way to return the favor and ensure we can keep doing it in 2026! Donations can be made here, and all are appreciated, or become a member here (if you aren't already)!
Voting in the 2025 No Depression Readers' Poll is open until 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday Dec. 17. We’ll report the results at nodepression.org soon thereafter. Want to make sure you don’t miss it? There’s a spot on the ballot to share your email address (optional) and get our twice-weekly newsletter, which will include the results of this poll and our year-end Critics Poll, as well as reviews, columns, and stories you won’t want to miss. We’ll never share or sell your email address, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
Thank you for participating, and thank you for supporting No Depression all year long.
