Happy December folks! It's that time again. What were your favorite albums of the last full calendar year on earth as we know it? Post your top 10, 20 30, 100, I don't care! Try to at least order your top 10, beginning with your album of the year on top, and then after that feel free to just dump your other albums here in any order that suits you. Hopefully through others' lists we'll all find an album or two that somehow slipped through our fingers. Who knows, maybe by the end of the month some of us will have a brand new favorite!
I went ahead and ordered my top 20, and then followed that list up with a handful of other goodies that I've enjoyed throughout the year as well.

Also the Residents' Coochie Brake would absolutely be on there if I had been able to hear it more rhan once.
Collecting Rz shit has become incredibly cutthroat.  |

It's so funny because I respect both Womp's and HG's taste, but between the two lists I think only the Feist album and maybe the Antlers album would be in my top ten.
Which I'll decide at home, later. |

| I love your list, FD. Many of those I'm unfamiliar with and plan on checking out. |

| I'm gonna check out what a Nick 13 and a Blind Pilot is, never hwoid of either. |
| Posted by Pea on Dec 1, 2011, 1:18pm |
Blind Pilot is just a really nice acoustic band. They do west coast tours by bicycle. Pretty neat.
Nick 13 is the debut Americana album from the frontman of Tiger Army. Hints at a lot of classic country and just an overall wonderful listen. |
