It took me until about halfway through 2011 to make my 2010 top 5 lists. This year I am starting to write this journal entry on the second day of 2012(and posting it to last.fm in February).
Any text in italics are comments about my lists. Here it is:
Albums:
1. Yuck - Yuck
2. Smith Westerns - Dye It Blonde
3. Grouplove - Never Trust A Happy Song
4. Ballpark Music - Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs
5. Portugal. The Man - In the Mountain in the Cloud
Others of note: The Strokes - Angles; The Get Up Kids - There Are Rules; Arctic Monkeys - Suck It and See; Jebediah - Kosciuszko; The Wombats - Proudly Present... This Modern Glitch; Fucked Up - David Comes To Life; Ben Folds & Nick Hornby - Lonely Avenue
Albums I have listened to a little of and need to buy to judge completely: Bright Eyes - The People's Key; Kurt Vile - Smoke Ring For My Halo; Ryan Adams - Ashes and Fire
With my top five albums, I struggled to come up with a list because 2011 seemed to have a lot of albums that were _pretty_ good…
