When you look back at a year, it's easy to dwell on the negative stuff that happened, and there was plenty of that in 2025. Fortunately, there was also a wealth of excellent music to help us escape the crappiness, if only for a little while. This week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played part 2 of my look back at the best music of the year. It'll keep you on your toes while you watch out for vampires.
