Looking back at the previous year in music is one of my absolute favorite things to do every year dating back to even before I worked at Record Time. With 2012 being the best year for music in a long long while (since at least 2005 that I can remember) it has been super fun and also extremely difficult to come up with an actual ranked list. My top album of the year is a reissue so I felt guilty having it top my list, BUT when you look at my Last.fm chart of the previous 12 months you will see why I felt so compelled to choose it for #1.
Either way here is my yearly list and I would encourage you to check them out!
