U2 - New Year's Day

Mandatory post on January 1st.
By the way, this song is now 40 years old!

It’s New Year’s Eve and it’s time for my personal #BestSongsOf2022 list!
Ten songs from ten different artists, listed from number 10 to number 1.

Let’s start!

The 1975 - I'm In Love With You

One of the recent hits from a band that seems to be everywhere right now. A quality uplifting tune that sounds more like summer than winter, but whatever...

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Pretty Boy

The Chief is back. New song out today, featuring an unmistakable riff from guitar god Johnny Marr.

CD Ghost - Nowhere

The video thumbnail intrigued me and I discovered a well-crafted synthpop track. Keep an eye on these young guys from LA.

The Verve - Slide Away

This is the second-best song named 'Slide Away' and performed by a British band in the early '90s. A phenomenal tune penned by Ashcroft, McCabe & the boys.
The first-best was written by Mr. Noel Gallagher from Burnage, Manchester (click!)

Lemolo - High Tide

The best song I've heard in the last week - or month - or maybe more.
Ethereal vocals layered above rich, shimmery synths and a percussive piano; hints of London Grammar, Cocteau Twins, Massive Attack, Agnes Obel.
Great music can leave you speechless sometimes.

1968 Rolling Stones, restored in glorious 4K quality.

(Btw, on an unrelated topic: Måneskin are getting a lot of praise nowadays but there's nothing revolutionary about them: they're just tying to replicate what the Stones did 50 years ago!)

Stumbleine - Skeksis
