Here's a place for everyone to share their EOTY lists for 2022. The Chorus.fm website contributors are hard at work at our own lists and we plan, like we did on AP.net, to post and share these on the website in early January. Hope everyone had a great musical year and I can't wait to read all everyone's lists. 2021 (Contributor List) 2020 (Contributor List) 2019 (Contributor List) 2018 (Contributor List) 2017 (Contributor List) 2016 (Contributor List)
Started whittling down contenders and revisiting stuff. Been an exciting year, even if it’s the first in a long time that I don’t really have a runaway AOTY SZA has let me down too many times to believe it’s really coming this year - and even if it does, I just… can’t see it cracking very high into my list. Just too late in the game to make an impression

Already started to cull down my list a couple weeks ago but I'll come back closer to xmas with my final. Strange year for me personally. Lots of artists I usually love dropped records I just don't care for or return to much/at all.

Absolute shitcock year for me musically. EOTY list currently sits at 16 or 17 entries, and a list that isn't a multiple of 5 is simply unacceptable. Hoping to brute force my way to 20 in these last couple weeks.

A weird year for me. My son was hospitalized for a month in February and we spent the next few months trying to get everything back to some semblance of normalcy. The album I played on repeat during those days, Big Thief, is now forever linked with that horrible experience. Linked with sleepless nights sleeping head to toe with my wife on a cot that's built for .5. With shitty room service food and some really good empanadas they served in the cafeteria. With the overpowering smell of medicine and off brand wipies and the sound of his heart rate monitor going off because he couldn't keep that dumbass cord around his big toe. As good as the album is, and as much as I enjoyed listening to it in the weeks leading up to the hospitalization, I found myself pushing it further and further away as the year went on. I don't know the last time I played it, or even any song from it. It's a bit too painful to go back to at the moment. Not sure when I'll revisit it. The rest of my year, aside from a few albums that I'll rank below, found me closed off from new music. I played a few new albums when I cut the grass or cooked dinner, but I mostly reverted to old favorites in a playlist. I typically spend any free time I have at work playing new music, but I rarely found myself reaching for anything new. Keith Jarrett was my most listened to artist of the year, with Talk Talk and the Blue Nile not far behind. Ambience, silence, creating a mood over lyrics. I got more into jazz this year and have been playing a lot of Coltrane and Miles Davis and Bill Evans. Idk if that has to do with the events of earlier in the year or me just becoming old and boring. I played the Big Thief album enough in the first month of the year to have them in my top 3, haha. Albums 1. Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain, I Believe in You 2.
