Let England Shake
Strange Mercy
Grace For Drowning
The Whole Love
List time! I'm not going to pretend I listened to everything out there, but these were my favorites of the year.
Wilco - The Whole Love
Real Estate - Days
Decemberists - The King is Dead
REM - Collapse Into Now
Foo Fighters - Wasting Light
Book of Mormon sountrack
Need a few more listens: Ryan Adams - Ashes & Fire, St. Vincent - Strange Mercy
Wanted to love, but can't get past the hardcore vocals: ed Up - David Comes to Life
Haven't heard their latest yet, but want to: Tom Waits, Steve Earle, Black Keys
Disappointment: King of Limbs
Token hip-hop album that I'm not going to pretend was one of my favorites just to add diversity to my list, but thought was okay: Watch the Throne
Let England Shake
Strange Mercy
Grace For Drowning
The Whole Love
City and Colour - Little
Dystopia by Iced Earth. It's not like anyone would know who they are.
Really didn't get to listen to many albums this year.
Favorites were Let England Shake, Burst Apart and James Blake s/t
I think one of the only 2011 albums I listened to was Bad as Me by Tom Waits, and I liked it quite a bit.
This, most definitely. Great, great album.
Watch the Throne was okay, but mostly for the production. Jay-Z's verses are pretty much crap and only a few of Kanye's are actually good. Even though it was only an EP, I thought : The Sequel was a much better RAP album lyrically, and some of the tracks are just as awesome to listen to with a good sound system as Watch the Throne.
King of Limbs is the only thing that immediately comes to mind, Watch the Throne and Atlas Sound "Parallax" were the only other records that peaked my radar.
Real Estate "Days" disappointed me because I felt like I heard it all before on the EP, still good tho.
big k.r.i.t- return of 4eva
the roots- undun
kids these days- hard times ep
action bronson- dr.lecter
Helplessness Blues by Fleet Foxes
Within and Without by Washed Out
Hot Sauce Committee Part Two by Beastie Boys
The Graduation Ceremony by Joseph Arthur
How did I forget this?
2010 was a better year for music TBH
Agreed.
2009 was better, though.
2009 rivals 2007 for the best in a while, too.
Shut up. You weren't even a gay music hipster in 2007.
Hipster for gay music? Or music hipster who is gay?
Both in IronMexican's case.
LMFAO - real champs
Shabazz Palaces - Black Up
and Watch The Throne is one of the tier albums of the year. Worst thing Kanye has done by a mile, but on par with everything post-Black Album for Jay-Z.
On "99 Problems" Jay-Z raps, "if you havin girl problems, I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems but a ain't one."
I really thought he should have said, "If you havin girl trouble..."
And avoide the redundency of the word "problems"
Listing the albums I have heard multiple times from best to worst:
Steven Wilson - Grace for Drowning
St. Vincent - Strange Mercy
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
Wilco - The Whole Love
Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
Bon Iver - Bon Iver
Radiohead - The King of Limbs
The Antlers - Burst Apart
Albums I haven't listened to enough:
Tom Waits - Bad as Me
Bjork - Biophilia (pretty underwhelming after one listen)
CunninLynguists - Oneirology (will probably get higher after more listens)
Gang Gang Dance - Eye Contact (can't really remember much about this one)
Atlas Sound - Parallax
On a side note, last.fm for making me lose hundreds of scrobbles.
