SIGNALS FROM MARS | BEST OF 2022 ALBUMS COUNTDOWN

During this episode of Signals From Mars, my Patrons Jeremy, Ed, Johan, Brad, Anthony, and Steve join me to discuss their favorite albums of 2022.

The way this works is they submit a list of 10 albums. Each album is assigned a set of points. Number one gets 10 points, number two gets 9 points all the way down to their number ten which receives 1 point. I sum all of the points up and whichever album comes out with the most points ends up as number one.

Did your favorite make the list? Should it have ranked higher? What’s that album even doing on the list?

They also picked a track to represent each album. We also created an Ultimate Judas Priest Playlist based on their selections.
