It's that time of year again, everyone's compling their Lists. I know these things are all totally subjective according to taste, but what were your favourite albums released this year? Mine are: 4. Karen Elson - Stolen Roses 3. The Dead Weather - Sea of Cowards 2. The Black Keys - Brothers 1. The National - High Violet. The latter being one of the most gorgeous things I've ever heard. And I should include The White Stripes' Under Great White Northern Lights but it's a live album so technically not new stuff Discuss

I haven't heard any of those you've mentioned. I sometimes think I live in the 60's - 70's, because I don't listen to new bands.. From a few albums I've heard the best were these: 1. Yann Tiersen - Dust Lane 2. Kings of Leon - Come Around Sundown And I'm afraid that's it

1. Arcade Fire--The Suburbs 2. The Black Keys--Brothers 3. KOL-CAS 4. The Dead Weather--Sea Of Cowards
Thats about it, i think.
Last year was better, with a lot more bands releasing good records.

1. KOL - CAS 2. S. Carey - All We Grow 3. SIA - We Are Born 4. Jenny & Johnny - I'm Having Fun Now 5. Goldfrapp - Head First 6. Eminem - Recovery
I think I wouldn't even be able to compile a Top 10 list this year because there haven't been enough good releases!

Yeah it has been a pretty quiet year! Those 4 that I put were pretty much the only albums that I got this year (well, them plus CAS). Although I keep meaning to get The Greenhornes "****", which is apparently great but nowhere stocks it. And yes, I'm aware I'm a total Third Man whore

I don't remember, Erin. I saw it as album of the year you could vote for on Spin's year end poll. For my list it was between that & Katy Perry's Teenage Dream. I thought Lungs was the better album, though.

i always forget or change my mind but -
KOL - CAS The Xcerts - Scatterbrain Mogwai - Special Moves (live albums count right?) The Twilight Sad - The Wrong Car (and an EP if it's exceptionally good?) Frightened Rabbit - The Winter of Mixed Drinks Foals - Total Life Forever
and although i wouldn't class them in my top list - Bombay Bicycle Club - Flaws, Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest, Violens - Amoral and Best Coast - Crazy For You are very good
