The Rest of the Best List 2022

Well friends, there were just too many great albums this year, and so here is the "Rest of the Best".

Andy and John both had super extensive year end favorites lists and make up the bulk of this list. I will need a good chunk of 2023 to dig in to their recs, but I like long drives and a have good stereo so I am all set. We always love to hear about our reader's favs too, so send along via social media! We're on all the places out there were folks swipe, scroll, troll and post. Not so much on Tinder.

Happy New Year! -GS
