Best albums of 2012

[Platini Pollock]

Unless I have missed the thread ( apologies if I have....) I think it's time to nominate the best you have heard this year ( no best of albums allowed ... )


Mine would be :

The Lumineers - The Lumineers

Hot Chip - In Our Heads

The XX - Co-Exist



Not a vintage year in my opinion.


Love to hear about the ones I have missed and need to give a try to...

 

[ImAwesome]

Mumford and Sons - Babel

Its not really that good but it is the best i can think of. I thought El Camino was 2012 but apparently not.
