Top 40 Albums of 2022
Posted by Captain Beyond Zen on Tuesday, December 27, 2022
2022 - To make a long story short: The year started miserably but increased constantly.
Musically it was definitely one of the best. Bad times seem to produce great art.
At least a hundred albums deserve a mention in my best of list. But traditionally I'll limit myself to 40. Each of those 40 albums is a gem, as are these honourable mentions.
Here is my very personal selection of the best albums of 2022!
