I don't have mine complete yet, but i do have a lit of random songs that i think were some of my favorites of 2012 (in no particular order really)

http://open.spotify.com/user/u0074221/p ... cxwZh9jPrX

not sure why some don't display. 1st should be Japandroid - House that Heaven Built and 3rd should be Cloud Nothings - Stay Useless, but i think if you have spotify you can see what it is from the actual list (not my actual 1st and third, but spotify puts four albums pictures at top... and they are all black and white...)

i'll try to come up with what i thought was best albums

Lists are corny

favorite albums released this year

Agalloch - Faustian Echoes
Alcest - Les Voyages de l'Âme
Earth - Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light II
Baroness - Yellow & Green
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!

sonned

yup. that is a no-contest sonning.

Philly, you really set yourself up for that one.

There were a lot of great albums released in '12. The one that I keep going back to most often is The Brian Jonestown Massacre's Aufheben.

well i think this is a good representation. im sure i forgot some but i listened to these albums during the year. and they are still on somewhat of a rotation (i have a tendency to just dump everything into one playlist and hit random, and take it out of i can't stand it anymore), but some are really not that good. but the order is what i liked the most to least of things that i still remember exist. only including things i listened to whole albums

^^ you should tell us your cutoff on the list from good to bad.

I'll post my list sometime later. I still have 1 or 2 albums I'd like to relisten before I officially place em.

To no surprise, Fiona Apple will have my top spot.
