Fine selection of albums there - a few that I have not got around to so I’ll have to add them to the ever-expanding January list!
I agree - the recent live recording of Snowfalls leaves me hopeful that they’ll carry on making great music after David’s passing.
Hey all, great albums here - more listening to do than time in the day, but that’s I problem I’m grateful to have!

Not enough time in a year to listen to all of the new releases, because I see some interesting, unheard albums listed in this thread. And while no albums stood out as a potential classic
album for me this year, there were quite a few, very good albums, that garnered a four-star rating, with the help of Roon, Roon Radio, and now Roon ARC.
Could not decide how to rank them. So here are 25 of my favorite albums for 2022 listed in alphabetical order:
Pete Astor - Time on Earth
Beach House - Once Twice Melody
Built to Spill - When the Wind Forgets Your Name
Gerald Clayton - Water’s Edge
Elvis Costello & The Imposters - The Boy Named If
The Delines - The Sea Drift
The Dream Syndicate - Ultraviolet Battle Hymns and True Confessions
Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters - Mercy Me
Sharon Van Etten - We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong
Mary Gauthier - Dark Enough to See the Stars
Michael Head & the Red Elastic Band - Dear Scott
Jenny Hval - Classic Objects
Damien Jurado - Reggae Film Star
King Buffalo - Regenerator
Julian Lage - View With a Room
Lumenette - All Around My Head
Marillion - An Hour Before It’s Dark
Nduduzo Makhathini - In the Spirit of Ntu
Jeb Loy Nichols - The United States of the Broken Hearted
Bjorn Riis - Everything to Everyone
Sea Power - Everything Was Forever
Sloan - Steady
Spoon - Lucifer on the Sofa
Tomberlin - i don’t know who needs to hear this…
Wilco - Cruel Country
Looking forward to hearing what music piques my ears in 2023. Cheers, y’all!

That is indeed a very deep rabbit hole - enjoy!
Any list of best albums of 2022 that isn’t including Snarky Puppy’s Empire Central only testifies to the curator having missed something big
