The Music Savage Show | Best of 2022

The Music Savage Show · December 30th, 2022 It’s time for the best albums of 2022 show. I played a TON of new music these past 52 weeks! This year I took a new approach and let the airplay data speak for itself and had the algorithms place each release in order of how many times I spun songs from a particular ’22 record. Lo and behold, and with much fanfare, please enjoy the selection of twenty five amazing musicians and bands that helped to create the soundtrack of the past year! I also close out the show with a…

Best of 2022 | Steve

Here we are again! We made it! Despite the efforts of the world, we’re still here and still cranking it up as loud as possible. I think it’s safe for me to speak on behalf of the entire Music Savage gang when I say that we feel honored and humbled that you choose us to be part of your music journey again and again. Thanks for helping us feel like what we’re doing has some meaning in this mixed-up, multi-colored sphere we’re all on. If you’ve been here a while, you know how we feel about lists and trying to…

Best of 2021 | Steve

This year has been something. Again. Thankfully, we saw the return of live music, albeit in a limited fashion. If this whole mess—and the tenuousness of not only every show but my comfort with attending those shows—has taught me anything, its that for far too long we as fans have taken for granted the lengths our favorite musicians go to, to allow us to enjoy their music in person. This past year they not only shouldered the load they normally did, they also put themselves and their families at risk to make our lives a better place to live. I…

Best of 2021 | Ryan D.

Wow, once again it feels like it has been the longest year since last year! With all the turmoil in the world and the exhausting amount of nonsense (& oh yeah and we are STILL in a fucking pandemic!!!) I once again turn to music to help get me through it all. Music has always been my therapy, my escape, and being able to share my love of it with all of you is the best… my favorite thing in the universe honestly! Speaking of the best, the albums and EPs mentioned below are the absolute BEST of the best,…

2020 | Steve’s Best of the Year

What. Thefuck. Wasthat? Whatever it was, we made it to the end of 2020 and boy it couldn’t come soon enough. I, for one, can’t wait to bathe in the waters of a New Year like it will bring absolute resolution to all the crap that has been going down in our world. Will that happen? Who knows. But, at this point, any glimmer of hope is one that I’ll hang onto. To say 2020 was a strange one is no novel statement. There were times when I turned to music to get me through each passing moment and there…
