Best albums of 2022
 

Hi everyone.

We're almost at the halfway point of 2022. What are your top five releases for 2022 so far?

Personally, 2022 has been a good year for rock. Here is my top five.

1-Ghost - Impera
2-Crashdiet - Automaton
3-First Signal - Closer to the edge
4-Stereophonics - Oochya
5-Arcade Fire - We

I'm assuming I'll be adding Muse and Coheed and Cambria to this list in the coming months.

Daniel Rossen - You Belong There

Everything else has been meh to me but I admittedly have not heard much this year. I usually do that towards the fall.

Wallows - Tell Me That It's Over

Just amazingly catchy and eclectic indie rock, I saw them in Cleveland a few weeks ago too and the show was incredible. Love this album to death, as well as the rest of their discography
