Vinyl Relics | The 2025 “In Memoriam” Fantasy Band Discussion

SPECIAL EPYSODE: The 2025 "In Memoriam" Fantasy Band Discussion.

GUESTS: Uncle Herff and Christian Swain.

In this special epysode, we honour the artists who left us in 2025 by building the ultimate “In Memoriam” Fantasy Band. Through reflection and a deep appreciation for their musical legacies, we imagine what it would sound like if these departed legends shared the same stage.

We discuss their standout contributions, the impact they made on their genres, and why their absence leaves such a lasting void. It’s part tribute, part creative celebration, and all heart. Whether you love fantasy band drafts, year-end music retrospectives, or simply want to remember the voices that shaped the soundtrack of our lives, this epysode offers a heartfelt and thoughtful sendoff.

The great gig in the sky added some incredible talent this year.

From all of us here, and on behalf of all the fans throughout the world, we say thank you for the incredible music you leave behind. RIP.
