Top 50 video here! czcams.com/video/GZZ-H0K9fZ8/video.htmlsi=av0tNvnphVnZPwRy
That Lemon Twigs album is something special. Everything Harmony and Himlabacken, Vol.2 are my top 2 of this year. Thanks for your videos, Matt. They have helped me in shaping and curating my musical taste.
Can’t argue with those picks. Vocal harmonies to the max! Thanks Jack!
Thanks man, theres a Lot excelent music that i've never Heard before
Thank you so much I just discovered a lot of really interesting music!
Great review ! Thanx from The Netherlands.
Matt I like your list it's all over the place for the variety we have on this list. Peter Gabriel's album is stellar! There's 3 albums that have really caught my ears this year... The first one.. Trevor Rabin - Rio.. simply solid stuff from him... 2nd...Dave Kerzner - Heart land mines Vol.1 personally my favorite of the year..great Lyrics
#1 just came out early Dec. With their second album The Round Window - Everywhere and Nowhere.... If I had to say what type of music... Prog neo pop... Great vocals and Musicianship! These guys are good with great potential!
Thanks Lawrence! I will definitely listen to both Dave Kerzner and The Round Window. Agreed on Trevor Rabin. I don’t love every track but half of Rio is pure gold.
@@MattOLearyMusic another one that came out very early in the year and I went back to listen and have really enjoyed listening to is Yay! By Motorpsycho some really great harmonies on the whole album.
Great review, I plan on listening to several of these albums right away! So glad you have Peter Gabriel’s i/o in there. I’m obsessed with this album, it’s so beautifully textured. I also just discovered Caroline P a couple weeks ago. That album is amazing too. Very much appreciate your descriptive analysis. Keep up the good work.
Thank you 👊
I found a couple of my favorite 2022 albums from your list that I'm still going back to. Excited to dig into a few unfamiliar releases here. Quality as always Matt!
also Desire is my AOTY no cap
Hi! I found your channel after Robert Fithen mentioned it in his new video. 🖐 I agree with the albums on your top 10 that I have heard and the rest I think I need to hear. The Peter Gabriel really surprised me too. 💯 Caroline Polachek and the Lemon Twigs are top notch. I'm off to check out some of your other videos now.🏃
Well hey, that’s pretty neat. That explains the little subscriber bump today 🤔 Thanks for watching! Will look forward to your recommendations this year
Thanks for getting me into the Gum album. Love Tame Impala and on first listen this sounds great too 👍
Glad you found it! I highly recommend his songs Gemini and Anesthetized Lesson
10. Aton Five-Aton Five
9. Crown Lands - Fearless
8. Organic Pulse Ensemble - A Thousand Hands
7. Spidergawd - VII
6. Seven Impale - Summit
5. Harp - Albion
4. Nat Birchall - Songs of the Ancestors (Afro Trane Chapter II)
3. The Chronicles Of Father Robin - The Songs & Tales Of Airoea Book I
2. Tidal Wave - The Lord Knows
1. Moon Safari - Himlabacken vol.2
I never knew there was a band named Moon Safari 😮. Crown Lands album was so good
I mean, what even IS all this stuff. Thanks for the homework assignment. ;)
Good to see the Harp album on your list
Wow, coming through clutch with these eclectic suggestions. Thanks much!
@@MattOLearyMusic you are welcome
Great list! What I like about this list (and your channel) is that it gets me thinking. Like a good movie. The music is eclectic and interesting and not something I hear of every day. Not a copy and paste of many of the other youtube reviewers. I enjoy watching and hearing about music that is mostly new to me. Mondo Drag made my list from one of your reviews.
Our lists aligned on the #1 spot. I didn't think anything could oust Everything Harmony, even way back when it came out. It remained in my #1 spot the whole year, although my #2 has been played much more recently.
I'm working on my top 50 list (enjoyed your list) but here's my top 10:
1. The Lemon Twigs - "Everything Harmony"
2. Darlingside - "Everything is Alive"
3. Charles Wesley Godwin - "Family Ties"
4. Foo Fighters - "But Here We Are"
5. Sufjan Stevens - "Javelin"
6. Slowdive - "everything is alive"
7. Sleep Token - "Take Me Back To Eden"
8. Mondo Drag - "Through the Hourglass"
9. Boygenius - "the record"
10. Chris Stapleton - "Higher"
Honorable Mentions
1. Balance and Composure - "Too Quick to Forgive" (2 song EP)
2. Paul Simon - "Seven Psalms..."
3. Feist - "Multitudes"
4. Wilder Woods - "FEVER / SKY"
5. Lana Del Rey - "Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd"
Instrumental Albums and Film Scores
1. Ludwig Goransson - Oppenheimer Soundtrack
2. Cicada - "Seeking the Sources of Streams"
3. Alexis Ffrench - "Peace" (EP)
4. Hans Zimmer - The Creator Soundtrack
5. Joe Hisaishi - The Boy and the Heron Soundtrack
Wow, it’s much appreciated. It’d be much better for views to have a less wide-ranging brand and list, but I simply can’t do it.
Great to have your picks here. I’ll add em to the queue. I think I’m gonna hold off on listening to that Twigs single tomorrow, as much as it pains me 😬 I want to go into the next album without hearing anything
Yessss Caroline, shes my #2 this year
So good! She’s the queen
My favorite this year was Saturnia, I had a streak of listening to it every day from release until Christmas (because I forgot).
5. 'Death Pill' by Death Pill
4. 'Horned Lord of the Thorned Castle' by Moonlight Sorcery
3. 'Yallah Beibe' by MC YALLAH
2. 'Sator Arepo' by Judgitzu
1. 'Seasons Dreaming Death' by GraveRipper
Don't know these 👀
A fantastic list, January is now filled yet again with new music from the prior year to prioritize!
My top 10 for '23:
10 - Caroline Polacheck - Desire, I Want to Turn Into You
9 - Grouptherapy - I Was Mature For My Age, But I Was Still a Child
8 - Mandy, Indiana - I've Seen a Way

Watchhouse - try them. Beautiful songs, very contemplative.
Nice video. Got turned onto your channel by Robert F.
Thank you. I’ll add them to the queue.
Ah, I recognize them as Mandolin Orange, a staple in my in-law’s home.
@@MattOLearyMusic yes they changed their name to the location where the lead singer's family has a mountain house.

THIS. Now THIS is a unique list 😮
thanks again for introducing me to Caroline Polachek.
I had no idea Paul Simon made another album.
Gum I may need to hear. And rateyourmusic for example agrees with you on the new album is the best.
K'mono is totally Yes/Retro Prog like. I do wonder if they know some of the other local prog bands, or could do a show with them (Bubblemath, The Galactic Cowboy Orchestra).
I'd love a K'mono & Bubblemath show.
I recommend the older tracks Gemini and Anesthetized Lesson by GUM, especially the latter. Great bubblegum, dancy psych pop.
@@MattOLearyMusic thanks. Will checkout those older tracks
I was expecting some other albums in the top 50.
Craterellus Tubaeformis by Skinshape
Eternal Embers by Meltt
The day my father died by SYML
also there was a new Greta Van Fleet album this year (garbage).
I'm curious, did you listen to them and didn't like them or?
Starcatcher by Greta Van Fleet is a mindblowing album, much better than anything on this list
@@Tityretupatulae I don't know how that is possible. The charts say it all though, but still it's my opinion, starcatcher isn't as good as their previous records.
@@Sayansvwell if I based my taste on what the charts say, then I wouldn’t be listening to any of the music I listen, I would only know and listen to English speaking artists and I would think Harry Styles and Dua Lipa are some of the best songwriters of our time. No disrespect to their hard work, because all of these people work hard no doubt, but they are nowhere near the best musicians of this generation.
Being “not as good as their previous records” doesn’t traslate to “garbage”, especially when talking about Greta Van Fleet. Only my opinion of course.
I haven't listened to any of these. Added to the queue. Thank you!
I haven't listened to any of these. Added to the queue. Thank you!

100 Gecs - Hollywood Baby
Jeff Rosenstock - Future is Dumb
Girl Ray Everybody Is Saying That
The Murlocs - Undone and Unashamed
The Beaches - Blame Brett
Geese - Cowboy Nudes
Lindstrøm - Syreen
Love it, thank you!

Never really caught on to their songwriting.
