Best Of 2022

Here we are again, wrapping up the past 12 months with the albums that made this year definitive to me. This year was especially excruciating, as there were tons of fantastic albums, but here a condensed 50. As always, keep in mind that this isn't a definitive or objective "best of" list, just a collection of personal favourites in relative order. You can check out a Spotify playlist of all the albums below, along with one of select songs from each. There are no download links to avoid copyright issues, though a few of them are already on here if you want to check out their respective posts. 

Thanks again for continuing to check this blog out, this year we hit both 1000 and 1100 posts and passed the 10-year mark on this thing. So thank you, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, though there should be a few more posts coming before the year is out. Let me know what your favourites this year have been too, I'm curious to know what you guys have been listening to. Enjoy.
