2022 was another year that I placed less emphasis on new music than usual. It's probably because I'm getting old, but I've also reached a point where one partial listen to a new album is sometimes enough for a quick dismissal. It's possible I'm overlooking growers, but I've just reached a point where I just feel like spending more time with music I know I like.
Little Chuck's interest in music is another reason. He's still only into one band really -- AC/DC -- but he seems to be finding an appreciation for other music as well. But perhaps my musical highlight of the year is he started guitar lessons in March and has made amazing progress. I'm really excited to live vicariously through him on this one.
All that being said, I still found 22 albums worth ranking in a year end list. So, without further ado, on to the first installment of my top 22 albums of 2022.
22. Def Leppard - Diamond Star Halos
21. The Smile - A Light for Attracting Attention
20. Wilco - Cruel Country
19. Tomberlin - I Don't Know Who Needs to Hear This…
18. Camp Cope - Running With the Hurricane
17. MJ Lenderman - Boat Songs
16. The Reds, Pinks & Purples - Summer at Land's End
15. Pinegrove - 11:11
14. Stars - From Capelton Hill
13. Momma - Household Name
12. Drive-By Truckers - Welcome 2 Club XIII
11. Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You
