gorilla vs. bear’s songs of 2022
I always post up our favorite albums of the year first, but when it comes down to it, we do this for the songs. I've been keeping a rolling playlist all year which has expanded to over 100 incredible tracks, and here are the undisputed top 50 songs of '22, in descending order. Again, not ranking Luminelle releases, but y'all know Magdalena Bay's dazzling Mercurial World deluxe bangers "All You Do" and "Unconditional" + at least a few of Enumclaw's soaring, heartfelt Save the Baby anthems objectively deserve to be up there.
