TOP 10 ALBUMS OF 2012

What are your Top 10 Albums of 2012??? In descending order starting with bestest.........

1,2 Tie.
Parov Stelar - The Princess (Part Two)
Deadmau5 - Album Title Goes Here
3. The Presets - Pacifica
4. Gossip - A Joyful Noise
5. Hot Chip - In Our Heads
6. Yeasayer - Fragrant World
7. Van She - Idea of Happiness
8. Grimes - Visions
9. The XX - Coexist
10. Poolside - Pacific Standard Time

Of Honorabe Mention:

Miike Snow - Happy To You
Metric - Synthetica

Of Honorable EP Mention:

The M Machine - Metropolis Part I
Disclosure - The Face

P.P.P.S. - I fully expect 13/14 of these artists to appear on the 2013 lineup poster :-) Just a music lover's intuition speaking ;-) If these 13 don't make the lineup, GV has dropped the ball as far as I'm concerned.

Who's your guess if you had to pick one of these artists you expect to NOT appear on the poster this year??? I have my answer ;-)

Of YOUR Top 10, whom do you FEEL will be at Coachella this year? not HOPE or WISH, but FEEL, BELIEVE, KNOW???!!! ;-)

1. Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! - Godspeed You! Black Emperor
2. Kindred - Burial
3. the Seer - Swans
4. Held - Holy Other
5. fin - John Talabot
6. Desertshore/The Final Report - X-Throbbing Gristle
7. Our Loving Is Hurting Us - oOoOO
8. (III) - Crystal Castles
9. Lonerism - Tame Impala
10. Put Ur Back In 2 It - Perfume Genius

wish everyone one this list would play but don't think anyone aside from crystal castles, tame impala and maybe(?) talabot/holy other

I'm still trying to listen to music from 2010. Thanks for this thread. Now I know what to go get.

#1 - Aerosmith - Music From Another Dimension

November isn't even over yet, you dolts - there will be plenty of time for your lists in a few weeks.

i'm happy to start the "Coachella Message board's top albums list" thing that I did last year if yall are down

Tame Impala - Lonerism
Titus Andronicus - Local Business
Animal Collective - Centipede Hz
Divine Fits - A Thing Called Divine Fits
Andy Stott - Luxury Problems
Cloud Nothings - Attack on Nothing
Spiritualized - Sweet Heart, Sweet Home
Jack White - Blunderbuss
DIIV - Oshin
Flying Lotus - Until the Quiet Comes...

HM
White Rabbits - Milk Famous

It's unfortunate that there isn't a sub-forum available to discuss non-coachella-related music topics.

lol is this is the wrong forum? i didn't even look.

The Doo Doo Birds had the best record of 2012 bro.

I going say Liars's WIXIW has been in my car's cd player almost all year so I'm going with that as my favorite album of the year.

Whats a CD player?

Grizzly Bear- Shields
Animal Collective- Centipede Hz
Beach House- Bloom
Earth- Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light, Vol. 2
Flying Lotus- Until the Quiet Comes
Cat Power- Sun
Kendrick Lamar- good kid, m.A.A.d city
Fiona Apple- The Idler Wheel blah blah blah...
Titus Andronicus- Local Business
Dirty Projectors- Swing Lo Magellan

Stagnant Pools- Temporary Room
Divine Fits- A Thing Called Divine Fits
Cloud Nothings- Attack on Nothing
Killer Mike- R.A.P. Music

This was very difficult, and I didn't realize until now how good 2012 has been for new music.

#10...................NO!

In no specific order:

1) Electric Guest/ Mondo
2)Tame Imapala/ Lonerism
3)Gypsy & The Cat/ The Late Blue
4)Pond/ Beard, Wives, Denim
5)Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs/ Trouble
6)Alt-J/ An Awesome Wave
7)Sinkane/ Mars
8)Tennis/ Young & Old
...still some time left in this year to round out the top 10:dumbo

Electric guest at #1? U got shitty ass taste brah.

weren't we collectively horrifically indie and predictable last year?

yeah. i enjoy compiling the lists though.

I'd love it if you did it again. It's entertaining to see how blah we are.

But, to be fair, last year was horribly blase for new music in general.

1. Frank Ocean - Channel Orange
2. Titus Andronicus -Local Business
3. Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory
4. Beach House - Bloom
5. Ty Segall Band - Slaughterhouse
6. Death Grips - NO LOVE DEEP WEB
7. Dirty Projectors - Swing Lo Magellan
8. Flying Lotus - Until The Quiet Comes
9. Death Grips - The Money Store
10. Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music

I've written this up a few times and it keeps changing, but this is where I'm at with it right now.

I assembled a massive 2012 albums Spotify playlist:

1. Frank Ocean - Channel Orange
2. Japandroids - Celebration Rock
3. Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, M.A.A.D City
4. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Hallelujah! Dont bend, Ascend!

6. Dirty Projectors - Swing Lo Magellan
7. Grizzly Bear - Shields
8. Titus Androdicus - Local Buisiness
9. Baroness - Yellow and Green
10. Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory

16. Beach House - Bloom
17. Ty Segall - Twins
18. Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music
