Favorite album of the Year

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Turns out my favorite was Danger Days by My Chemical Romance. Really different from their old stuff, not emo in the least bit and just a solid rock album all around.

so no votes for Panda Bear?

I don't have a favorite but I really liked

Kanye MBDTF, obviously
Beach House - Teen Dream
The Besnard Lakes are the Roaring Night
Das Racist - Shut Up Dude/Sit Down Man
Japanese Cartoon - In The Jaws Of The Lords Of Death (lol lupe)
John Legend & The Roots - Wake Up
The National - High Violet

Maybe if he had put out an album last year.


Teen Dream is pretty good.

[Spurminator]

Oh and Robyn's Body Talk. Major guilty pleasure.

My favorite Album of 2010

Me too, Cee-Lo was 2nd but I didn't listen to much new music this year.

[The Gemini Method]

The Black Keys album was definitely a a fave of mine...

For 2011? Well, it's still early, but one of my faves is:

Iron & Wine

[vy65]

Oh, and that Sleigh Bells album was pretty gosh darn good too

[The Gemini Method]

Indeed.

[The Gemini Method]

tbh it's pretty damn good but not even close to as good as Boxer. But I'm a huge Boxer knobslobber.

While Boxer is one of my all-time faves, I still think Alligator is a better album by the slimmest of margins. Perhaps its because I saw them perform after they released Alligator and Matt Berninger (lead vocalist) was coming off a rough time in life and was completely drunk and still managed to kill it.

Agreed.

It was just a fun album...although, every time I play it, it sounds as if my speakers are about to explode.

It's like an M.I.A. album, except good.

Looking forward to seeing them in April.

I didn't like Sleigh Bells, at all. If I want a fun album, I have The Drums s/t.

[MannyIsGod]

I forgot about Big Boi's album. It was pretty good too.

seriously, how does it work when your "stereotypical cholo gangster in every Antoine Fuqua movie" looking self goes into some up it's own ass hipster club? Do they immediately hand you their brand new worn vintage wallets in fear, or embrace you fully to look like they have some street cred, the same way pitchfork knobslobs Clipse?

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Can't believe no one mentioned this album yet, but probably it wasn't a big hit in the U.S. Listen it, in awesome (If you dig Old skool hip-hip, indie rock, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Daft Punk, etc)
