Late contender I'd almost forgotten about until it shuffled on yesterday - Superhuman by Ferris & Sylvester.  Cracking debut.  Worth a listen if you haven't heard of them.

Yep that was another good one as was The Proclaimers one. Really has been an excellent year for music.

Hope i'm not too late. I know it's top 5 but I listened to a lot of albums this year so done a top 100 just because. Spent a lot of time agonizing about the ones i've not included and the order but think this neatly sums up my favourite music of 2022.

Nice list. Shows what a vintage year it has been. 2021 I was scratching around for a top ten, this year endless possibilities 

 

Stumpwork not in the top 100 tho?....gotta deduct you a point for that.

Yes it is - meant to be number 55 after Kae Tempest. Looks like I've made a mistake and let's eat grandma have popped up twice!

Absolute belter of a year and it's tough to name just 5 - so I've listed 10 (in no order);

  1. BCNR - Ants from up here
  2. Jockstrap - I love you Jennifer B
  3. Jessie Buckley and Bernard Butler - For all our Days...
  4. Yard Act - The Overload
  5. Black Midi - Hellfire
  6. The Smile - A light for...
  7. Kendrick Lamar - Mr Morales...
  8. Steve Lacy - Gemini Rights
  9. Fontaines DC - Skinty Fia (probably No.1 for me)
  10. Arctic Monkeys - The Car

Tracks:

  1. Anna B Savage - The Ghost
  2. Steve Lacy - Mercury
  3. BCNR - Bread (most played track this year)
  4. Fontaines DC  - In ar aCroithe go deo
  5. Katy J Pearson - Alligator

Gigs:

  1. Black Midi - EotR - genuinely fabulous wall of noise.
  2. Kendrick Lamar - Glasto - biggest surprise of the w/e - epic. 
  3. Mary Wallopers - Thekla - moshing to trad Irish music? Yes please!

Disappointment:

  1. LP - Arcade Fire - We - what a shocker, going the same way as Muse but not as funny.
  2. Gig - tough to chose between Pixies and Bright Eyes at EotR, both very tired.
