I love reading people's "best-of" lists! great idea to make and edit them as the year goes on; it will be really cool to see what albums actually have staying power to make it to end of the year and which albums make it and then get cut after excessive listening.

I've been listening to a lot of older music lately so I don't know very many albums from this year yet, but I just listened to The Joy Formidable yesterday and really enjoyed it too.

My really short start:

Iron & Wine - Kiss Each Other Clean
The Joy Formidable - The Big Roar
The Kills - Blood Pressures
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - Belong

The best album of the year is Goblin

well yeah it probably will be and I'd imagine it'll be high on my list when it leaks but until then...

I'm not seeing Bright Eyes on that list andimac.

Hey, are you going to Finn Riggins tonight?

Posted by andimac on Apr 29, 2011, 9:52pm

No... I wish. I'm in Lewiston tonight. I'm warming up to Bright Eyes. There are several HM.
Explosions in the Sky, Bright Eyes, Rene Hell, James Blake, The Weeknd...etc.

I'm looking forward to: White Denim (on of my fav bands ever), Washed Out, Tyler, the Creator,

Posted by Switch on Apr 29, 2011, 9:56pm

Well, it's an evolving list so maybe Bright Eyes will work their way on there. I'm thinking about going to the Alley for the show tonight. Not sure yet.

damn good list. I imagine that Black Up and Burst Apart will end up on my list but I've been avoiding both since last I checked the leaks were still pretty low quality. I did listen to black up one time and it sounded fucking nuts. I really wasn't that thrilled with the battles album though...

I'm interested to hear what everyone thinks about tomboy.

Posted by StormyPinkness on Apr 30, 2011, 8:02pm

It is awesome.
