I think anyway, may have missed some stuff and there are some albums I have only listened to once so didn't put on there....

You missed the genre of Hip Hop :D

Hah, I haven't explored the hip-hop from this year yet. The only things I have heard are Camp which was good but didn't make it into the list and The Roots new one, which I have only listened to the once, but it seems pretty great so far.

Camp is crap to be honest.

We did have this discussion before. I thought it was pretty fun but it was nowhere near a favourite of the year.

I really enjoyed Camp because it was so fun and didn't take itself very seriously, I also just like Donald Glover, so call me biased. Still I saw myself going back to it constantly, top 10 worthy, no but worthy of a top 15.

@TomClancy, I did really enjoy that Death Grips album though, but I didn't listen to it enough to really get a good idea and rate it in the top 20 (top 25 maybe)I need to listen to that CunninLynguists though...

@Alfred. I've been really interested in punk the past year + and have found a lot of great stuff, a very exciting scene that is. That Title Fight album is really worth listening to, I had to adjust my list to fit it on since I knew I wanted to include it but didn't know where.

I'm working on the finishing touches of ordering up my 100 albums. I'm hardly looking forward to solidifying the top25, but I need to make up my mind here...

@Alfred, +1 for Russian Circles
