Favorite songs of the Year - 2022 - My Top 25

 
 
Top 25 Favorite Songs of 2022 (sort of) 

Here we are in 2023 already. Happy New Year! But I'm not quite finished with 2022 yet. So, here are some of my favorite songs from 2022. Yes, this is a very eclectic list, in that none of these songs ever charted, were ever heard on the radio, or even much outside the narrow confines of progressive rock circles. Thus, these are primarily my favorite songs from my favorite albums of the year. For some albums, such as Kaprekar's Constant and The Dear Hunter's, it may be somewhat arbitrary because there were many great songs that all fit together to tell the story of the album that it is difficult to select one over another, but nonetheless, these represent my overall favorites, although there are so many that could have been included. I have only included one song from each artist, just so more different artists could be featured.
 
25. Dignity - Porcupine Tree
24. Tired of Taking it Out on You - Wilco
23. Alive - Galahad
