Topic Summary

Posted by DREW OF THE RUSHES on Nov 29, 2011, 2:18pm

It took me a long time to title this thread. This is not for our list of top albums of 2011, but a place to post top albums lists from various publications. I'll start:

Uncut:
http://stereogum.com/891311/uncuts-top-50-albums-of-2011/list/

50 Unknown Mortal Orchestra – Unknown Mortal Orchestra
49 Arbouretum – The Gathering

45 Mikal Cronin – Mikal Cronin
44 chune-yArDs – w h o k i l l
43 St. Vincent – Strange Mercy
42 Jenny Hval – Viscera
41 Raphael Saadiq – Stone Rollin’
40 Kate Bush – 50 Words For Snow
39 Dawes – Nothing Is Wrong
38 His Golden Messenger – From Country Hai East Cotton
37 Little Dragon – Ritual Union
36 Jonny – Jonny
35 My Morning Jacket – Circuital

21 James Blake – James Blake
20 Ry Cooder – Pull Up Some Dust And Sit Down
19 Drive-By Truckers – Go-Go Boots
18 Tinariwen – Tassili
17 Feist – Metals
16 Jonathan Wilson – Gentle Spirit
15 Wilco – The Whole Love
14 Kurt Vile – Smoke Ring For My Halo
13 Tom Waits – Bad As Me
12 Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues
11 Laura Marling – A Creature I Don’t Know
10 The War On Drugs – Slave Ambient
09 Bon Iver – Bon Iver
08 Wild Beasts – Smother
07 Radiohead – The King Of Limbs
06 The Horrors – Skying
05 Josh T. Pearson – Last Of The Country Gentlemen
04 White Denim – D
03 Metronomy – The English Riviera
02 Gillian Welch – The Harrow & The Harvest
01 PJ Harvey – Let England Shake

Generally I trust a list where I haven't listened to at least some of the albums in the top ten, and this one looks relatively balanced.

wow at the rate they're going, stereogum's lists will be identical to rolling stone's in the next few years.

Posted by know ID yuh on Nov 29, 2011, 2:51pm

Is Stereogum anti hip-hop/rap? There are six or seven names on there I know nothing about, otherwise I don't see anything remotely close.

Posted by Cbats on Nov 29, 2011, 2:53pm

oh god I lack reading comprehension skills. That's uncut's list. It made no sense as a stereogum list.

that list is pretty awful

Cornershop had an album out this year? Sweet, imma check that out.

Posted by Pea on Nov 29, 2011, 3:02pm

I like this thread! Between these lists and the board member lists (I'm going to start that thread tomorrow after all) we'll all have some great albums to explore.

Posted by wompwomp on Nov 29, 2011, 3:27pm

Wow, I had no idea The Low Anthem released an album this year

Posted by Pea on Nov 29, 2011, 3:31pm

I've been afraid to listen to it for some reason. Charlie Darwin is outstanding though.

Posted by Friendly Destroyer on Nov 29, 2011, 3:58pm

Personally I think it's criminal that Primus isn't on any of these lists, but the fact that a newer band like Man Man is completely missing seems nuts.

Sad to see no mention of TMBG either.

The Paste list is really bad. Radiohead, The Decemberists, My Morning Jacket, and Wilco are all as high as they are only due to name recognition. Camp kinda sucked, and it's the only rap album on the list. It is in no way exciting to say that Bon Iver had the #1 album of the year, nor do I really think it's true - it just was pretty good to a lot of people, so it showed up on a lot of ballots. Any aggregated list will have that problem, which I hope is what that is.

Which hip hop albums were worth mentioning this year? The Throne, maybe Drake, maybe Lil B...? I liked Curren$y's album. I don't know, I guess I just don't listen to enough.

Atmosphere or The Roots (hopefully)
