2011 Albums Of The Year

[Two Hoots]

Puressence - Solid State Recital
Elbow - Build A Rocket Boys!
Anna Calvi - Anna Calvi
The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - Belong
Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds - Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds
Pete And The Pirates - One Thousand Pictures
Yuck - Yuck
The Panics - Rain On The Humming Wire
Cloud Nothings - Cloud Nothings
3 Daft Monkeys - Social Vertigo

And a mention for All The Young, whose Quiet Night In EP is superb. I can't wait to hear the album when it's released

Have to disagree with Yuck. When I was listening to the album I really felt 'it', but when I turned it off I quickly forgot most of the songs, bar two or three.

A promising debut, no doubt, just not one of the best of the year for me.

I know what you mean, but this has been an almost permanent fixture in the car so it's in my head now. A lot of the bands they are obviously influenced by (Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub, My Bloody Valentine, The Wedding Present, The Pixies) I love, so a bit of a win win situation for me

 

[Lark Lane Blue]

1. The Joy Formidable-The Big Roar

Did you see them live yet? They make one hell of a noise for a 3 piece.

Hehe, not gonna lie, I've seen them 8 times already. They are absolutely amazing live. And you're right for a 3 piece it's absolutely amazing. Similar to Muse in "wall of sound" for a three piece. Just brilliant live, for me the best live band around at the moment.

Looks like they'll be in our studio soon too, cannot wait, belting band.

I've fallen out with Q Magazine; apparently Mylo Xyloto is the 5th best album of the year.

 

[Freestyler]

Machine Head - Unto The Locust
Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn Of Events
Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto

 

[Whisk]

The Smiths Box Set
The Very Best Of Morrissey

Obsessed?

The latest effort from coldplay.

 

[Gelsons Dad]

The Civil Wars - Barton Hollow

 

[BimboBob]

Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa - Don't Explain


Just pure, pure class from start to finish. Beth's voice compliments Joe's fantastic blues guitar playing.

I'm amazed you liked it in the first place. Q is terrible. A chunky magazine for middle aged people who used to buy their music in Sainsbury's during the weekly shop. Admittedly, I read NME but it's largely for the gig guide, interviews and random shit.
