KEXP listeners have great taste in radio stations, obviously. They also have great taste in music! That’s why, each year, we take the time to build a listener-powered list of the best albums of the year. And now is that time! We asked our listeners to vote on their favorite albums of 2022. See what they picked as their best albums from a remarkable year!
For the past 20 years, we’ve partnered with BECU—a member-owned credit union—to strengthen our community of independent music listeners. That’s why we’re thrilled to team up once again on our latest collab: Live at KEXP Volume 10, featuring 19 tracks piled high and pressed on a double LP, celebrating 50 years of KEXP.
In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, KEXP counted down the Top Album of the last 50 years, as voted on by all of you! Our fall fundraising drive may be over, but you can still support listener-powered KEXP by making a donation today.
Please note: in-studio sessions are broadcast only; video will be shared on our YouTube channel at a later date. All times are reflected in Pacific Time.
