Our Essential Listening 2012 series concludes today with The Albums. From the ‘cohesion through experimentation’ of Tame Impala’s ‘Lonerism, through the ‘muscular power ballads, stirring, keyboard-led harmonies and call-and-response choruses’ that inform The Killers’ return with ‘Battle Born’, to the ‘sheer magnetism and unwavering belief’ which made ‘Blunderbuss’ such a successful solo debut for Jack White, we feel this rundown highlights some of the year’s truly outstanding releases that everyone should make an effort to check out. www.live4ever.uk.com/2012/12/live4evers-essential-listening-2012-the-albums/

Nice to see Bloom by Beach House is No. 7 although it could have been higher. It's a fantastic album. I've seen Mark Lanegan Band last month. I only knew Lanegan by his work with Isabelo Campbell (brilliant singer btw), so to see/listen to him with his band was completely different, but it was still great.
PS: where is Sigur Ros' Valtari?

Hi Mimmi

Hi mimmi, As mentioned in the intro, we only include an artist/band once across the series, and I wanted to highlight Sigur Ros' video anthology this year so that's where they've squeezed in!

Nice write up, but I thought Cat Power's record was one of the most underwhelming things Ive ever heard. I was expecting a lot more and she gave us her Shit Sandwich.
