My Favorite Albums of 2023 is coming Starting December 5th I will begin counting down my 20 favorite albums of 2023. I could have easily made a list of 40 albums this year, there was so much great music coming out almost every week. I think I came up with a great list that includes…
#1 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
Taylor Swift Midnights Surprisingly this is the first Taylor Swift album to make it on my list. Not because I’m not a fan or didn’t like any of her other albums. It’s simply because I try to feature albums that have had less of an audience in hopes that my influence might get them a…
#2 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
The 1975 Being Funny In A Foreign Language These guys do no wrong in my book. Two of their last three albums have been at the top spot of my list and the third one sat at #3. Working with producer Jack Antonoff was a brilliant choice and I love hearing his influence throughout. If…
#3 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
Zach Bryan American Heartbreak I’m not much of a country music listener but when something stands out to me I cling to it. The first time I hear Something In The Orange played on SiriusXM’s Spectrum channel I knew I had to go check this guy out. I was greeted with an album of 34…
#4 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
The Wonder Years The Hum Goes On Forever My favorite Philadelphia punk band, The Wonder Years get better and better with every new album. Singer Dan Campbell sings with so much raw emotion you can feel the honesty and realness he puts into every word. Listen To The Hum Goes On Forever Watch The Videos
#5 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
Caamp Lavender Days Caamp is one of those up and coming bands that is going to explode and start selling out sheds and arenas. I saw them live at the beginning of this year and they have a huge following. If you like Americana and folk you will love these guys. If you like The…
#6 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
The Regrettes Further Joy I love it when I can scroll through the new albums on Apple Music and discover something great. I saw this one, sampled a couple songs and threw it into my library. It was pretty easy to love this album with all the great hooks. Listen To Further Joy Watch The…
#7 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
Spoon Lucifer On The Sofa I believe this was the first album of the year to make it on my list. Being so fresh into the new year (released in early February) I was still searching for something to get my attention. I’ve never actually followed or listened to Spoon before this album. I knew…
#8 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
The Lumineers Brightside I didn’t fall in love with this album right away. It took some time to grow on me and looking back I don’t really understand why. There was a lot of anticipation for me with the long build up on the title track single Brightside. I loved that song right away and…
#9 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
Prince Daddy & The Hyena Prince Daddy & The Hyena I don’t know what to say about this band other than if you like some angsty emo and some pretty damn catchy hooks then give this album a try. I could go even deeper with the whole concept of the album but I’ll leave that…
#10 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
Dashboard Confessional All The Truth That I Can Tell I’ve been a fan of Dashboard Confessional since I first heard the MTV Unplugged album and that was twenty years ago now. I’ve always loved Chris Carrabba’s ability to tell relatable stories through his lyrics. On All The Truth That I Can Tell, Carrabba strips back…
#11 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
The Black Moods Into The Night I’m a gluten for straight forward hard rock. I love discovering new acts like Dirty Honey, Greta Van Fleet, and Rival Sons. This year’s best hard rock album is absolutely Into The Night by The Black Moods. Listen To Into The Night Watch The Videos
#12 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
Butch Walker Butch Walker as…Glenn Before hearing this album I kind of knew the name of Butch Walker but I didn’t realize his extensive credit list. Rightfully considered one of the greatest songwriters and producers of the last 20 years Butch and produced and written songs with Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Fall Out Boy, Panic!…
#13 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
Collective Soul Vibrating This is the 11th album from Collective and there is not a dud among them. This band consistently releases excellent new albums and I will never grow tired of it. I sure hope Ed Roland has a million more songs to write, I’ll listen to every single one of them. Listen To…
#14 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
Def Leppard Diamond Star Halos A great album from a great band. It may not be Pyromania or Hysteria but it sure blends in nice with their catalogue. Hearing some of these songs played on this summer’s Stadium Tour made them sound like instant classics. Great stuff when a lot of older bands struggle to…
#15 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
Arcade Fire WE This is Arcade Fire’s fifth consecutive appearance on my list. The only album that didn’t make it was their debut and that is only because I didn’t discover them until their second album. As for WE, their seventh studio album, it’s every bit as good as the lot. A perfectly crafted melodic…
#16 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
Tedeschi Trucks Band I Am The Moon Originally released in four parts over the year, this is the complete 24 song collection. I had never listened to this band before I discovered this album. Lead by the husband and wife duo of Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks this twelve piece band must be an amazing…
#17 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
Marcus King Young Blood I felt like I was transported back to the 70’s on my fist listen of the bluesy southern rock n roll album. The guitars and vocals are just amazing throughout. So much swagger I just can’t help but love it. Listen To Young Blood Watch The Videos
#18 My Favorite Albums Of 2022
Gregor Barnett Don’t Go Throwing Roses In My Grave The Menzingers’ front man goes solo for the first time. If you don’t know who The Menzingers are you are missing out on one of Philadelphia’s best punk bands (second to The Wonder Years). When Gregor announced a solo album I was ready for it. It’s…
#19 My Favorite Albums of 2022
Tears For Fears The Tipping Point After an 18 year hiatus Tears For Fears have returned with one of their best albums since their 80’s heyday. With every listen it gets better, beautifully and brilliantly crafted songwriting. Listen To The Tipping Point Watch The Videos
