[kuuguy]

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

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???!!! ;-)

2. Kindred - Burial

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

[icedKeg]

yeah. i enjoy compiling the lists though.

[bmack86]

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