I'm bad at lists, I'm sure I have forgotten a lot that I really liked. This is just preliminary, based on you guys jogging my memory with your lists. It is bound to change by the end of the year, especially since there are still some albums I neglected to listen to when they were released.
1. Man Man Life Fantastic 2. Bright Eyes The Peoples Key 3. Radiohead - The King of Limbs 4. Primus Green Naugahyde 5. Feist Metals 6. The Decemberists The King is Dead 7. The Felice Brothers Celebration, Florida 8. Blind Pilot We are the Tide 9. Tim Kasher The Game of Monogamy 10. Wilco The Whole Love 11. Blitzen Trapper American Goldwing 12. Nik Freitas Saturday Night Underwater 13. Iron and Wine Kiss Each Other Clean
^^ Game of Monogamy was 2010, but Bigamy was 2011, and probably just as good. Definitely on my list for this year, which I may eventually be assed to post.
And by eventually, I apparently meant "in about an hour"
1- Brite Futures - Dark Past 2- Bon Iver - Bon Iver 3- Blind Pilot - We Are the Tide 4- Tim Kasher - Bigamy: More Songs from the Monogamy Sessions 5- Laura Marling - A Creature I Don't Know 6- Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues 7- Cut Off Your Hands - Hollow 8- Delhi 2 Dublin - Delhi 2 Dubland EP 9- Adele - 21 10- Mayer Hawthorne - How Do You Do 11- Okkervil River - I Am Very Far 12- Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears - Scandalous 13- Electric Valentine - The Fuse 14- Florence and the Machine - Ceremonials 15- Mates of State - Mountaintops 16- Girls - Father, Son, Holy Ghost 17- Bassnectar - Divergent Spectrum 18- Mariachi el Bronx - Mariachi el Bronx (II) 19- Blitzen Trapper - American Blackwing 20- Wilco - The Whole Love
------------------------ Admittedly, some of these were only discovered recently from all of your beautiful lists that put me onto some really stellar stuff I missed, so I'm not entirely happy with my ordering of albums (other than Brite Futures being #1- easily the album I listened to the most this year).
I was listening to Ceremonials again and already regret having FLorence and the Machine on my list. I dont' think I "get" them Although the acoustic versions of the songs on the deluxe disc are quite good.
