It has been a pretty **** year for music tbh

[Mrluvaluva]

Grimes and Frank Ocean are getting a lot of love end of year.

Spin (http://www.spin.com/articles/best-albums-2012?slide=0)

Have to have a think. My personal favourite was Satellites 01 though. Others to consider though like Bat For Lashes "The Haunted Man" and Bjork's "Bastards".

Latch by Disclosure was, and still is, one of my favourite tracks, along with House by Kindness. Your Love by TEED too.

I will have to come up with a comprehensive list for end of year.

[Shaun]

:amazed: from the sound of those inclusions, Baz, I'll probably like it. I'm also planning mine :laugh:

[Locke.]

Miguel's Kaleidoscope Dream is the album of the year.
