Difficult to do these things when you have listened to (and missed) such a huge wealth of music this year.
But, just to throw my hat in the ring, here are some albums I enjoyed alot this year.
Enter your disgust at my exclusion of Dirty Projectors at the bottom. For the record, I like the album, I just don’t love it.
