FAVORITE SONGS - 2024

Hello Luna at Kingdom Come Festival


 This is the third song list I have, and like last year I'm making it a top 20. A lot of good songs. Once again, I'm putting them in alphabetic order.

Before I start, I will comment that I've discovered a lot of good bands and singers I was unaware of until 2024 - ten of them, to be exact. A couple were introduced to me on Glenn Remsen's Lithoscry broadcast, and several more via my connections with Always 1 Ministries which puts on Kingdom Come Festival. However, there's also one "old-timer" who made it on the list. I'll let you figure out who that iconic band that's joining more recent groups on this list.

Allow me to mention some highlights with the performances. I had the honor of seeing two of my favorite drummers to watch on Saturday morning: Mark McKowen of Divine Martyr and Christian Dunkel of Undefeated. These two bands and I Am The Pendragon, Reclaim the Day, and True Revival put on a great show as usual. There were great times of worship led by With Lifted Veils and BRVVE, But the show that blew me away was Hello Luna.

So here's the list of songs that blessed me this year. I'll put asterisks by the artists I've just been introduced to this year. I'll also include a link to my list on Spotify.
  • "Above All Names" by Mr. Weaverface.*
  • "Absolution" by Divine Martyr
  • "Buried On The Inside" by Hello Luna*
  • "Come To Forever" by Counter*
  • "Cost Me Nothing" by Steph Andrews*
  • "Enter The Light" by Counter
  • "Fight, Fight, Fight" by Worhol
  • "Help Us See Jesus" by Sovereign Grace Music
  • "Life Inauthentic" by Worshipwired*
  • "Lighthouse" by Crystoria
  • "My Path To Walk" by David Pataconi. This one is my favorite of the year. The more I hear it, the more I'm moved, especially knowing the challenges Pataconi is facing. By the way, while this is the first time you've seen Pataconi's name on the list, I'm not including an asterisk because he's part of a band that made last year's list, and coincidentally (I promise) that band is the next entry on the list.
  • "Overthrow" by TheoTerran
  • "Paper Kingdoms" by Steph Andrews
  • "Rise" by Undefeated
  • "Rumble" by Tierra Vacia;* They also have an unplugged version; I'm including both on the playlist link.
  • "The Declaration" by End of I,* featuring Deshiel Lynn*
  • "Time To Go" by McKenna*
  • "When We Were Kings" by Stryper
  • "You Raise Me Up" - AL-TIRAH*
  • "You Won't Ever Abandon Me" by Allie Crummy*
As said, here is the link to the playlist if you want to be blessed... I mean, if you want to hear the songs on my list.. Also, I'm waiting to see which songs I listened to the most this past year, and will be sharing that early next year.
