Re: Best Albums of 2012
The Rolling Stone top 50 is in the latest issue.
They have my #1 (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros) at #7.
Of course, they have Bruce Springsteen as #1.
And they inexplicably have the Avett Brothers 30 spots below Mumford and Sons (yawn, they are a boring one-trick English version of the Avetts), and BEHIND Taylor Swift.

I saw Enter Shikari with Falling in Reverse (took my daughter) ... I thought they were pretty good.
Best album of the year for me is Van Halen. Just an awesome record.

Re: Best Albums of 2012
Anyone else think that "Channel Orange" is massively overrated?
There are definitely a few standout tracks but TONS of filler.
I enjoyed his "Nostalgia, Ultra" mixtape a lot more, honestly.

The correct answer is Redd Kross: "Researching The Blues" with Bob Mould "Silver Age" as a close second.
Those are also my favorite albums of the year.

Re: Best Albums of 2012
I do think it's overrated, but I still liked it more than his mixtape. I listen to about three or four songs off of Channel Orange, with Lost being my favorite.
