Also in my signature.

EDIT: This site used to be called "ostrakon.com," but has since been redirected to "topsters.org" within the last 48hrs. It seems that I lost my progress, but it was only a small one I was in the beginning stages of constructing.

I stopped checking pan-african-music.com as often as I had been toward the end of last year when their updates started slowing, but I just now noticed they've got a best of 2022 list which I'm about to check out after I drop the link here:

 
Here's my best songs of 2022 playlist. I used to put together 80 min. playlists to burn to CDs, but that has ceased to be practical for me, so in the past few years I've decided to just go with 20 tracks. It's always a fairly excruciating process to narrow these down.




Nice. This is mine. I think it's mostly chronological.

2022 was my favorite year of the decade for music so far.


And this has all of my favorite albums from last year

That looks good. I'll have to give it a listen.

My expanded version (50 songs) has two of yours on it: "High Priestess" and "Make it Right". I picked a different Tears for Fears song, though ("Master Plan").
