paralyticstalks Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 LINK How are you guys feeling about this? I'm actually surprised. So many of my personal favorites got onto this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I listened to 5 of those records this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylo234 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yeah I listened to one. It was enter shikari. It sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paralyticstalks Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'm surprised DIIV (honestly my favorite band this year) made #13. That's a pretty decent spot on a best of list for a band who just started last year, only has one record under their belt, and is still opening for other bands in dinky clubs.

One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I listened to 5 of those records this year Same #44 (Bad), #31 (3 of the best songs of the year, but as a whole wasn't that great), #12 (Fantastic), #11 (In my top 3 of the year), #3 (Terrible) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 For the most part I'd file the list under hipster garbage. thomasj182, michaelmanfredi, travis and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymbalism15 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I think Alt-J should be higher, that album is gold and they did win the Mercury Prize. I love that Tame Impala album but I wouldn't put it first, maybe 2nd to Alt-J. Grimes, Frank Ocean and Crystal Castles should all be lower, even though I like CC I don't get the eternal hard-on everyone has for them, it's like this board and Title Fight. Feel like M83 and some others should've made it on here. Some hits and misses imo, I think I would side with this For the most part I'd file the list under hipster garbage.

hobohunter48 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Haven't listened to any of these. I agree with the hipster comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 all this list did was make me realize how absolutely out of touch I am with the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejesseb Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Ive listened to 2 of these. I like Enter Shikari's album. Not their best but it was decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymbalism15 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 M83 was last year. Damn you're right, it seemed more recent than that. My bad. all this list did was make me realize how absolutely out of touch I am with the world. Out of touch with one scene maybe, most of these are from the crowd that Pitchfork swoons over and not much on here was that well known even though they'd have you think it was.

bluedeni Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 There are some great albums on the list. The fact that they have Paul Weller and Bobby Womack on there makes this a respectable list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasj182 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Surprised fun. wasn't on there, that album to me one of the best pop albums in the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would risk having to field accusations of being too mainstream and we can't have that... I wouldn't put them in my top 10 but they belong in any top 50 if you ask me...
