Soooooooo, any of you have their lists ready?

I don't, but I'm the process of, still.

Geez, I'm still working on my 2011 albums. I don't really agree with doing it at the end of the year though. If a genuinely amazing album is released at the end of the year it's likely to get shafted.

Will be making my list ON MY NEW SICKNASTY LAPTOP WITH 16GB OF RAM, FOOLY COOLY AMD PROCESSOR AND ON-BOARD Beats Audio™ from Andre "Dr. Dre" Young as soon as I'm home.

Undun :(

Yeah, I'd quite like to see how my 2011 list has changed since the end of last year. This year's been a little disappointing music-wise imo, not nearly as many releases that I've liked, plus some have been especially disappointing.

Oh? For me this year's been much better than 2011. Even a bit better than 2010!

Also yahooz your sig's hotter than a scalding pot full of Emma Watson juice.

I thought this year was great. I guess I'll do the first list, might do a songs version later.

1. OFF! - OFF!
2. Ty Segall Band - Slaughterhouse
3. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
4. White Lung - Sorry
5. The Men - Open Your Heart
6. Om - Advaitic Songs
7. Aidan Baker - The Spectrum of Distraction
8. Krallice - Years Past Matter
9. Converge - All We Love We Leave Behind
10. Unsane - Wreck

Honorable mentions: Lightning Bolt - I Found a Ring in my Ear, Mind Spiders - Meltdown, Neurosis - Honor Found in Decay, Torche - Harmonicraft

good calls on converge, unsane, and the men, those were all pretty great

http://nmaps.net/user/maestro · Postby **乳头的早餐谷物** » 2012.12.17 (13:03)

Contemporaneousness does not factor very much into my listening, but nevertheless! here's my list of singles.

1. BUONO! 初恋サイダー／DEEP MIND
2. 吉川友こんな私でよかったら*
3. THE J. ARTHUR KEENES BAND Southern Accent**
4. ℃-UTE 会いたい会いたい会いたいな (c/w 悲しきヘブン)
5. モーニング娘。ワクテカ Take a chance
6. INFINITY SHRED Wayfinder
7. モーニング娘。 One・Two・Three／The 摩天楼ショー
8. トクマルシューゴ Decorate
9. CHIBI-TECH Moe Moe Kyunstep (live)
10. BERRYZ工房 cha cha SING (c/w Loving you Too much)

* Technically released four days before 2012, but come on. The album wasn't released till 2012 anyway. And it's still less than 365 days ago. And it's still no more ridiculous than Sprawl II topping the RYM 2012 charts.
** Honorary single.

Convenient YouTube playlist.

ought's list is better

own top tracks list forthcoming because i want to put something up and it seems like a fun thing to put together

http://nmaps.net/user/gloomp · Postby **unoriginal name** » 2012.12.19 (02:31)

yep, that was fun

1. Robb Bank$ - Counting
2. Liars - Brats
3. Big Baby Gandhi - American Experience
4. Cas - Drugs Don't Work
5. Oren Ambarchi - Salt
6. Frank Ocean - Super Rich Kids (feat. Earl Sweatshirt)
7. White Suns - Cenote
8. Scott Walker - Epizootics!
9. Lil B - California Boy
10. Gorgeous Children - Grassnlean Dreams

markedly different from my album list. a lot more hip-hop, some strong cuts off albums i found weaker overall. also limited myself to things i could find on youtube, which resulted in a few exclusions/substitutions. this is still just the result of a whim and a couple hours, not definitive in any way.

http://www.nmaps.net/user/Yahoozy · Postby **yahoozy** » 2012.12.19 (02:37)

I haven't grabbed an Oren Ambarchi release in a few years. That's very pretty.
