Top 100 Music Albums of 2022
by Moondance 
Haven't found 2022 to be an overly exciting or interesting year for music. Can't imagine any albums creeping into my top 100 (or top 200 for that matter).
I would rank 2022 in music no higher than 55 out of 63 - but I expect that over time as I scan more widely the artists & albums that hover on the fringes of 'popular choice', I may find a few gems that will allow me to revisit my overall low ranking for 2022.

Great chart. So nice to see Dean owens in your chart. Great singer / songwriter. The addition of calexico as “backing band” is a master stroke.
Really like your #1 and the inclusion of the black keys is good. Overall, a great chart for, as you say, a not particularly great year
