What soothes the beast and my raw nerves like music? Absolutely nothing. I love thinking about, talking about, and writing about music. A look back at some of the things I have written at Daily Kos will reveal I’ve written frequently about musicians—Lizzo, Tori Amos, and Taylor Swift come to mind—and you’ll even find me in the comments, writing about Weird Al Yankovic and Mitski.
2022 was a unique year when it came to music, with more anticipated studio albums falling out of favor quicker than anticipated. I loved the new Adele album, for example—primarily because I found the track “I Drink Wine” to be sublime—but the album made very few Top 10, or even Top 20, lists because it was often considered overindulgent, despite how absolutely fantastic the vocals are.
Ready for my top 10 albums of the year (with a couple of bonus singles)? Let’s go!
