## Resource

George, John, and TR admit they’re totally cribbing from their pals over at the Metalheads Podcast as they present their own Best of 2025…So Far midyear special! Each host brings their personal list of favorite rock albums released this year, comparing notes, debating picks, and uncovering some hidden gems you may have missed. From big-name releases to underground surprises, the trio takes stock of the year in rock at halftime—sharing plenty of laughs, hot takes, and maybe a little friendly trash talk along the way. If you need a playlist to get you through the rest of 2025, this is the episode to start with!
