Thanksgiving is still a week away but End of Year List Season is in full swing. We already got UK magazine Uncut's Top Albums of 2022 and now here's another long-running publication, MOJO. For a magazine that puts a Beatle on the cover at least once a year, their 2022 list doesn't feel too long in the tooth, though they do favor artists who've been around for a while. Coming in at the top spot: Dear Scott by former Pale Fountains and Shack frontman Michael Head.
Also found in their Top 75: Arctic Monkeys, Beyonce, Angel Olsen, Big Thief, Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul, Wet Leg, Black Thought & Danger Mouse, Suede, Horace Andy, Panda Bear & Sonic Boom, Beth Orton, Gwenno, The Comet is Coming, Kevin Morby, Weyes Blood, Spiritualized, Jack White, Bill Callahan, Jockstrap, Makaya McCraven, Elvis Costello, and more. Check out MOJO's full Top 75 Albums of 2022 list below.
