Plus, let's be honest, there's not really much here that those that are interested won't have heard or seen many a time before and in lists actually posted in 2011 for that matter. So yeah, a bit late with this really. Still, an enjoyable year for albums none the less with many highs, none more so than Bon Iver who just had to win. So pretty both inside and out.

January 18, 201213 yr ANYWAY Fantastic top 2, still can't stop listening to Ben, even if we're the only fans on here at least I'm not alone! Gang Gang Dance and Active Child are two great albums in the top 10 too, I still can't get into M83 though. The top 5 albums I've never heard (taking out the couple I know I won't like) are: 04 • Sepalcure • Sepalcure 08 • Oneohtrix Point Never • Replica (I didn't like the song nominated for song of the year though) 10 • Hooray For Earth • True Loves 11 • Gazelle Twin • The Entire City 13 • Youth Lagoon • The Year of Hibernation Which would I like most? :D
January 18, 201213 yr Nice #5 :P Too bad I barely know anything else from the list - all I know is that your #1 Bon Iver was nothing for me.. Anything on there that would be up my street?

As for the ones you've not heard, I'd say you're most likely to like either Hooray For Earth or Youth Lagoon - you weren't that sold on No Love though were you so maybe it should be Youth Lagoon instead. I'd steer clear of the others as I'm not convinced you'd like any of those three.
January 18, 201213 yr Author Nice #5 :P Too bad I barely know anything else from the list - all I know is that your #1 Bon Iver was nothing for me.. Anything on there that would be up my street? Indeed, thank you for starting the thread that made me download it - great album. :wub: I'm not sure which you would like or not like, maybe Lanterns On The Lake is worth a try - kind of like a shimmering folky Alison Goldfrapp.
January 18, 201213 yr I'm not going to quote because I'd end up quoting half the list, but the following are all various shades of wonderful: 09 • M83 • Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming 16 • The Antlers • Burst Apart 19 • Lanterns On The Lake • Gracious Tide, Take Me Home 26 • Jamie Woon • Mirrorwriting 28 • I Break Horses • Hearts 29 • Cut Copy • Zonoscope 30 • St. Vincent • Strange Mercy 37 • Lykke Li • Wounded Rhymes 40 • GusGus • Arabian Horse 46 • Zola Jesus • Conatus 48 • Beirut • The Rip Tide 50 • Patrick Wolf • Lupercalia YEAH that ended up a LOT anyway.
