Hey, I'm Brian Hyatt, and this is Rolling Stone, Music Now. Today we are counting down the top 50 albums of 2022.

It's all from Rolling Stones's comprehensive list of the 100 top albums of 2022, which I recommend to check out.

It's one of our most diverse and interesting year-on lists ever.

To go through the list I have with me

to Lisa Lopez, Andre G, Brittany Spanos, and Simon Vosick Levenson. There's a lot to

get through so we'll just begin

Okay, number 50 sesame squeeze. This album is really fun and I kind of would pair it with the Willow album is just people coming from different places to do hard rock and really interesting ways just when people were writing off hard rock as a popular genre. in really

classic when people were writing off hard rock as a popular genre. Yes, I think when Sasami talks about the origin of this album,

she's actually telling a really classic tale behind metal and hard rock.

She talks about people underestimating her people not getting her feeling

excluded or disrespected and channeling that into this like furious loud wild super intense

sounding music that's something you can hear if you go back to any

great metal band over the years and she really taps into that in an amazing new way.

Yeah and the other thing I was saying is when I first heard it I kept hearing oh my God some of this sounds

like Cheryl Crow over louder guitars and I was thinking that's a really random

thing to think that's I must be hearing this wrong and then I saw that she was like, you know,

it kept, I kept writing the songs,

and then they came out of Cheryl Croix pop song.

I was like, oh, I guess I heard it.

The song, Skinner Rat from that album has like an incredible power. You sell sex tape to his lips.

You can stock up on this is.

Why does you keep the 10th track is really strong. So number 49, Maggie Rogers surrender and we actually talked with kid Harpoon about his work on this album
