since we are entering the month of december, i am curious to see what everyone thinks is the album of the year... obviously opinions will vary greatly, due to everyone's different musical tastes....
perhaps if we get enough 'nominations', we can make a list and get a poll going?
for me personally, the album of the year is bruce springsteen's 'wrecking ball', and it isn't even close.

I don't know what's the greatest album of the year, there are some very nice albums like John Mayer, Muse, Jake Bugg...
My favourite is Tame Impala - Lonerism.

I think I have to say Lonerism by Tame Impala or Throw It To The Universe by The Soundtrack Of Our Lives. By far the two albums I've listened to the most this year. The Tallest Man On Earth and The Hives released great albums too.

Deep Sea Arcade - Outlands. I love pretty much every song on the album, Lonely In Your Arms is definitely my favorite song of the year. Thanks to whoever first posted about them here I also liked Lonerism (although I haven't been listening to it that much as I only got their debut this summer), Lana del Rey's Born to Die and Tribes' Baby. |

Bloom by Beach House. Myth, in particular, is a beautiful piece of music.

I think I' bought more CDs this year than I have since the 90s. So many notable releases this year added to my collection:
Paul Weller - Sonik Kicks
Joey Ramone - Ya Know?
Smashing Pumpkins - Oceania
The Hives - Lex Hives
Neil Young - Psychedelic Pill
Neil Young - Americana
Bruce Springsteen - Wrecking Ball
Jake Bugg - Jake Bugg
Of those, I'd say Psychedelic Pill and Wrecking Ball were the strongest. I absolutely adore the title track on WB!

I wish Noel wrote a song like that for Maine Road. |
