Re: EOY 2022 - Rough Trade (US + UK)
Have we never counted Rough Trade? I've always thought these lists were useful (though having Jack White at #1 in a best of 22 list has me reconsidering that...)

Mackaya McRaven's In These Times blew me away. My favorite project I've heard of his and on track to be my favorite new jazz album to come out since Your Queen is a Reptile.

Who is this list made for? It appeals way less to core P4K readers than their last look at the 90s (which wasn't really that long ago), and are the mainstream music fans they are obviously trying to appeal to really going to start reading P4K?

I did not think Janelle Monae could get into the top 100, especially since she did not release anything sizable (except maybe one song?) since the last poll.

I think it depends on whether it's a contemporary artist or an older one. For some of my all-time favorites like The Kinks and The Beach Boys, I approached their career entirely in retrospect, so I've never even listened to many of their "bad albums" and don't intend to do so except maybe ...
