Continuing the January 2025 review of the previous year, let’s take a look at the Top 9 photos I posted on Instagram. This time last year I posted the 2023 version, so why not keep the tradition up?

It’s a simple process to get your most liked photos from Insta as a grid of nine images. This snapshot shows the most liked (top left) to least (bottom right) of the year’s best performers.

Here’s a breakdown of what the images were:

1. Here’s me at Star Tours in Disneyland Paris, complete with X-Wing Pilot t-shirt.
2. A Christmas porttrait.
3. The Bad Brains album “Quickness” on vinyl.
4. A bottle of Higson’s Bitter Ale.
5. An album by the band Budgie, “Never Turn Your Back on a Friend”, on vinyl.
6. Vinyl copy of the classic “Home Invasion” album by Ice-T.
7. Last year’s 2023 Top 9!
8. Pinball machines I found in a Whitby arcade.
9. Ancient burial sites in Anglesey, North Wales.

That’s quite a diverse range of photos, and also fairly typical of what I post on Instagram: vinyl and beer.

Thanks for sharing these moments with me. If you like, you can follow me on Instagram: platinum_al.official.
