The Year In Music

So, some blogging hiatus. Basically, our computer takes so long to upload pictures onto our blog that I rarely have the patience to do a full post. As a result, this will be a picture-less post. A friend and I were just exchanging lists of our favorite albums of the year, so I thought I would include mine here.

1. Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
2. In Rainbows by Radiohead
3. Boxer by the National
4. Anytown Graffiti by Pela
5. Because of the Times by Kings of Leon
6. The Stage Names by Okkervil River
7. Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
8. Cease to Begin by Band of Horses
9. Live at Massey Hall by Neil Young
10. Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters by The Twilight Sad
11. Favourite Worst Nightmare by the Arctic Monkeys
12. The Reminder by Feist
13. Spiderman of the Rings by Dan Deacon
14. Wild Mountain Nation by Blitzen Trapper

*There were a lot of albums I wanted to hear this year and didn't.
**Some of the "consideration" albums include albums that I've only recently picked up (or have had for awhile but negelected to listen to) and therefore didn't get to spend enough time with -- they could have possibly ranked higher.
