The end of 2022 is upon us, and with that comes the urge to review what this year has brought to us. In years past, I’ve done a single “These Are A Few of My Favorite Things” story to cover everything that I loved throughout the year, but this year I’m doing it a little differently. Instead of one long, all-encompassing article, I’m breaking some of my favorites down into separate stories, each focused on a specific medium (if you’ll pardon the pun). At some point in December, I’ll be posting stories for my top movies of 2022 (part two; part one was published back in July) and for my top television shows of 2022. But right now, I want to talk about my top music.

Frankly, I wasn’t going to bother writing about my favorite music this year; not to say that I didn’t love a lot of music this year — in fact, some of my very favorite music of all time came out or onto my radar in 2022 — but I just didn’t think there was enough to talk about when it comes to music. Put simply, I think music should be experienced more than it should be talked about, and so I’d much rather just give you a playlist and call it a day instead of trying to find things to say about what moved me with the songs (and don’t you worry; there’s a playlist to be had at the end of this).
