Passenger Sid Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Good list by the OP...I've listened to many of those. The ones I haven't, I'd like to seek out. I'd add "Watch My Moves" by Kurt Vile, my personal 2022 fave. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chuckrh Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I've got to think on this more but I know my favorite record of the year is Particle Kid "Time Capsule". It's a bit overlong but overall it's a stunner. I saw them open for the Flaming Lips a few weeks ago & they definitely bring it live. Micah Nelson is moving up my favorite musician list fast. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yaz Rock Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Very few of my favorite bands released albums this year. I went to a bunch of shows but most bands were still promoting albums from 2020 and 2021 as they were touring for the first time since Rockdown began. So, there are only a handful of albums on my list. I might be forgetting one or two, but this was all I came up with. 1. Eddie Vedder - Earthling 2. Lucius - Second Nature 3. Joan Shelley - The Spur 4. Taylor Swift - Midnights Of other bands I like, I don't find myself returning to Drive By Truckers - Welcome 2 Club XIII. It's missing the edge and immediacy that was pervasive throughout American Band and The Unraveling. Wilco's Cruel Country gets a spin here and there - it's kind of a nice album for headphone listening while lounging at home, especially the live version from SSF, but it's not a go-to CD for car rides. I'd rate it higher if it had 7 or 8 fewer songs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I've heard virtually nothing released this year. Weird music year for me. For some reason, I just didn't give a crap about the new albums by artists I've been following for a long time. The Wilco, Big Thief, Julian Lage crowd. None of that is connecting with me for whatever reason. Today I listened to Jim Lauderdale - Game Changer. (Very good country music.) Last week I listened to Dolan, Mendel & Wong - Rhythms of the Apocalypse (very good instrumental guitar rock) I guess I've mostly been listening to old music this year.
