2022 Top Twenty Stoner Rock Albums (#20-11)
Artist/Album/Track info displayed for the first 10 seconds of each tune.
Each tune is one I've never posted or included in a playlist.
The idea is that since these are the best albums of the year, they're deep enough that I don't need to
re-post in order to make a classic playlist:

#20: Dominance and Submission (A Tribute to Blue Oyster Cult) by Various Artists.
This is a great tribute album; really well done, with the right mix of bands sticking to the original and bands taking risks.
#19: "Ambos Mundos" by Cachemira
Throwback rock from Barcelona. I've listened to this album so many times
#18: "totally..." by Stöner
Brant Bjork. Nothing else needs to be said. Second year in a row this band is in my top 20
#17: "The Eye Of The Icosahedron" by Dungeon Weed
Dimitri Mavra of Skunk has put out his second "Doom" album and it's immense. I use quotes on doom since it's really not what you think of as doom but more like the music you imagined when you laid in bed at night and stared into the black light posters you hung on the wall back in the 1970s
#16: "Blue Rumble" by Blue Rumble
Yet another throwback rock album, this time from Switzerland. Clearly Led Zeppelin fans, these guys are not good but great. I love this album and would have already worn it out by now if it was on vinyl or cassette
#15: "The Singularity" by Wo Fat
There is no other state that has a list of rock trios as great as Texas.
Wo Fat have never stopped being elite.
#14: "Sunrise On Slaughter Beach" by Clutch
This one took some time to worm its way into my brain, but yet again Clutch delivers a must-own album.
#13: "Forgotten Mansion" by Witchfinder
Witchfinder is well described as a mixture of Belzebong and Youngblood Supercult. This French band produced one of my favorite EPs and also one of my favorite LPs of 2022
#12: "Regenerator" by King Buffalo
Back to back years King Buffalo has put out some of the most distinctive music of the year.
#11: "Blinded By The Wicked" by Hazemaze
Hazemaze had the balls to make their first Bandcamp release a live EP, and I have been a fan ever since. I am saddened to hear that after producing this gem of an album, Hazemaze has decided to disband
#10 through #1 on New Year's Eve!
