The best way to describe music in 2012 is "all over the map." There were a couple good hip-hop albums, some good garage albums, good indie rock albums, one good jazz album, even some good hardcore albums. Of the stuff that played on my stereo this year, these are the albums that were the most exciting and kept me listening all year long.
1. Aesop Rock, Skelethon
2. Ty Segall, Twins
3. OFF!, OFF!
4. Hospitality, Hospitality
5. White Lung, Sorry
6. Ty Segall Band, Slaughterhouse
7. Cloud Nothings, Attack on Memory
8. Neneh Cherry and the Thing, Cherry Thing
9. Polica, Give You The Ghost
10. Ceremony, Zoo
