Best of 2022 Indie Music Playlist - Over 677 songs - Spotify Playlist full of new music

Best of 2022: Indie Music Playlist on Spotify

This year was like a blur to me. So many shows, so much new music. This “Best of 2022” playlist is the biggest I have ever had! Over 675 songs. 😳 I curate this playlist all year long and it’s a true labor of love. Full of new indie music, but also lots of rock, pop, R&B and local Denver bands.

You can listen directly below, but Spotify will only display the first 100 songs. If you click this link and “heart” the playlist, it will save it into your own list of playlists. Also, since my Best of 2022 is so big this year, I have included some of my favorite albums below. (Which as also more than usual due to the incredible volume of new music this year.) Cheers to a wonderful 2023!
