With the winners of this year's Grammy Awards set to be announced on Sunday (watch it at 8 p.m. on CBS), The Day decided to canvass its readers, asking what music they have been listening to the most over the last year.

If this results aren't necessarily tied to Grammy nominations (sorry, Post Malone and Dua Lipa), they are wonderfully varied. The artists that readers have been playing on repeat range from Nathaniel Rateliff to Beyoncé to Rush to Witch Prophet. Read their recommendations below; you just might find a singer or band that will become your own next favorite.

We have music playing from one source or another all day and from room to room in the house and car. I discovered Nathaniel Rateliff a few years ago when I heard "S.O.B." on WEHM out of Long Island. I found this year’s “And It’s Still Alright” to be a beautiful, moving ballad that I could listen to forever. I tend to enjoy Americana music such as Jason Isbell and others who are storytellers or poets as well as singers. And I really enjoy groups like the Revivalists, The Lone Bellow and Mumford & Son.

What I miss most is going to concerts! Live videos are just not a good substitute. It’s still just watching TV.

It's been a lot of Rush this year. Since the tragic passing of the drummer Neil Peart last January, I have refocused on my love for the Canadian trio. Unless I'm cooking, then it's either Stanley Clarke or Five Finger Death Punch!

Ruston Kelly / Shape and Destroy. Ruston writes and performs excellent, well written, meaningful songs. Not overproduced.

I've been listening to Witch Prophet. Last spring, I discovered DNA Activation and listened to it a lot as I wandered around a newly surreally empty New London on lunch hours from spring into summer. Then she did a livestream concert in January, and most of the songs were from her previous album, "The Golden Octave," from 2008, so now I'm bopping around to that. Favorite tracks: Reprogram, Manifest, Roman, Tesfay. I like the positivity, the '90s beats, and the Ethiopian/Tigrinya modes.

I've also been listening to Oui Ennui. Chicago has a great scene for creative music, including dance music, and somehow his March Bandcamp Friday release The Believers OST entered my universe, probably through something connected to the amazing International Anthem label. Who was this guy? I only discovered many months later that he had COVID, the long-haul kind, and was putting out an album every month as some kind of wild personal endurance challenge (he's still at it, btw). The sounds, from dance to psychedelic with every kind of sample you can imagine, have been exceptional, from the album he thought he might not live to finish to his collaborative album with Angel Bat Dawid to his greatest hits extravaganza.

Khruangbin "Mordechai" has been my go to soundtrack through much of the pandemic with its airy psychedelic grooves setting a positive and dreamy tone and lending a bright warmth to these very strange days

I do think Beyoncé and Blue Ivy’s song “Brown Skin Girl” was from 2019 (Grammy) nominations, but if I had to only vote for those nominated for 2021, I would still choose Beyoncé since she’s constantly brilliantly reinventing herself and does a really good job of keeping fans interested in what’s up next.
