This is a list of the Best/Favorite Sounds I heard in 2026. And I heard many of them! I had to choose from about 350+ releases! I focused on full Album releases. No Live releases, No Various, No Best Of, No Split Albums, No Re-releases, No Reissues, No Box Sets, No 7 inch Singles (obviously). Of course, there are many other records out there that have slipped off my radar. But what can I do… So, feel free to agree, disagree, or whatever!

40 records that will Blow Your Mynd!

Psychedelic Rock, Psych something, Garage Rock, Space Rock, Progressive Rock, Jazz Rock, Folk Rock…

Check the Bands/Releases and if you like, buy their Albums!
