So I decided that I may as well take up the mantle of this just for this year while Max (presumably) has better things to do. I've said already that I didn't listen to too much music this year, and what I did listen followed a predictable pattern, so you're not going to get much lovely variety and I'm keeping it to just the ten albums (compared to 20 as Max does it). So here goes:

10) Django Django - self-titled (rock, electronic)

9) Purity Ring - Shrines (pop, electronic, indie)

8) Sarah Blasko - I Awake (pop, rock, alternative)

7) Alpine - A is for Alpine (pop, electronic, indie)

6) San Cisco - self-titled (pop, rock)

5) Last Dinosaurs - In a Million Years (pop, rock)

4) Beach House - Bloom (pop, rock, indie)

3) David Byrne and St. Vincent - Love This Giant (rock, indie)

2) Bat for Lashes - The Haunted Man (pop, indie)

1) The Wild Nothing - Nocturne (pop, indie)

But yeah, whatever. Who cares about my opinions - this is supposed to be a conversation stimulator and all that. Go list some recs below and stuff.
