The '023 Doomy Awards presented by 3am Revelations

December 30, 2023 by Kirk Hamilton in Awards

It’s that time of year again! The time when I get on my high horse about how much I don’t like lists. And at the top of the list of lists I don’t like? It’s Year End Lists. Often times when these lists come around, you’ll just glance at them, maybe agree, maybe disagree, maybe complain... then completely forget about them and go about your day. Besides, who actually enjoys ranking art? So as is now tradition, that's where The Doomy Awards come in. In lieu of a “best of” list, I give you the award show you were waiting for (whether you knew it or not).

The '023 Doomy Awards presented by 3am Revelations

Awarded for Outstanding Musical Musicianship
in the Field of Music

These awards take a look at this year in music and honour the deserving songs, albums, and artists in the form of goofy award categories, as chosen by me (Kirk). And even though some awards may be a little goofy, these are legitimately some of my favourite songs and albums of the year. The only eligibility criteria is they had to be on an album released this year (sorry, singles).
Whenever possible, all artist links are to places where you can (and should) go to listen to and purchase these songs & albums!

So without further ado, click through to find out the winners!
