I know we're only in the fourth year of this decade, but what has been your favorite year of music so far for this decade (2020s). Feel free to rank the years or explain why you picked your favorite year.

2022 was very difficult for me and the music was there for me that year so that's my first place, then maybe 2021 and then 2020, its too early still imo for me to make a judgement about 2023's music

It's a bit too early to make a judgement about 2023 for me, but I will have to pick 2022; I thought there was a lot of incredible music last year. My second choice is 2020, as I think there was a lot of great creativity that came out of the pandemic, and it marked a shift in the music industry where TikTok arguably became even bigger than it already was. 2021 was a very rough year for me due to dealing with depression and a health issue, but unlike what Fire said above, I am actually harder on the music from 2021 because it was a bad time for me. Music can become kind of connected to the time in my life I was listening to it, where I will be nostalgic over music from good times in my life (2022 was a really good year for me) but I sometimes will subconsciously more harshly judge music that came out during hard times in my life.

I picked 2021, the debut of Olivia Rodrigo, great albums from Tyler the Creator, LNX, Adele and others.
