2022 Top Ten

  1. Spoon never seems to disappoint. Although I think this is their best one in a while. Loved it!

  2. This could've been number 1, but I picked their first album as my favorite of 2018, so I gave it to Spoon. I do really, really, really love this album.

  3. Wet Leg

    Worth the hype.

  4. Mattiel, Georgia Gothic

    Had never heard of them, but couldn't stop listening to it. Style is all over the place, but every song is amazing and melodic as hell! ;)

  5. The Boy Named If

    Elvis coming out of nowhere. I love him, but didn't think this was going to crack the top 10. Welp, I was wrong. It cracked the top 5!

  6. Haven't loved a BTS album this much since Ancient Melodies. Now all they need is to get Phil Ek back behind the knobs.

  7. Not as good as their last double album, but still great! :) Would've been in my top 5 if it was a single album.

  8. Sylvan Esso

    Didn't like as much as their last album, 'Free Love', but it's also a much different type of album. Lots more 'beep boop', which makes it great!

  9. Santigold

    Another artist that I love all of their catalog. This one doesn't disappoint.

  10. Lizzo, SZA, Special

    Another tough one to figure out number 10. I chose Lizzo because every song on this album gets stuck in my head. Plus, I saw her live and it was one of the best arena shows I've seen in a looooong time.

2022 Top Ten is an album list curated by vinylweekend:

Working on putting all my top ten lists up here (since 1995).

My stupid rules: Top ten can only be albums I've listened to during that year. I can't put an album on the list that I discovered two years later. Makes it tough! I love lists though, which makes this fun!
