Twenty Twenty Two Blew. Twenty three skidoo!

Here at Good Show Sir we outdid ourselves in selfishly serving our customer base. Which remains nonexistent. Which is why we pioneered the introduction of random bank holidays not officially recognized by our stodgy government.

On to the honorees. The highest-rated cover of 2022, congrats to Max Bathroom, is:
