I haven’t listened to anything The Cult have released since Sonic Temple, so I must check out Choice of Weapon. They were certainly an excellent band in the 80s.
@@bryanbyrde8338 I'd add Ceremony and Beyond Good and Evil to that listening list too. Good albums.
@@independenceltd. I will add them to my list as well - thanks for the recommendations 👍
Hot cakes🤘! Cool album
@@threestringsomg Yes! Hard to put at #2...more like a 1B.
A fairly solid rather than great year for me. My list, other than my number 1, is dominated by acts whose earlier work I, by and large, slightly prefer. I think this is my first Antipodean number 1 (despite some near misses by Crowded House in particular) and edges out Muse's attempt to top my lists for a fourth time:
Honourable mentions:
Anxiety - Ladyhawke
Wrecking Ball - Bruce Springsteen
Coexist - The XX
5 Strangeland - Keane
4 Battle Born - The Killers
3 Blunderbuss - Jack White
2 The 2nd Law - Muse

For me:
1. Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel...
2. Beach House - Bloom
3. Tame Impala - Lonerism
4. Swans - The Seer
5. Grimes - Visions
HM - Jimmy Cliff - Rebirth, Bobby Womack - The Bravest Man in the Universe, Graham Parker & the Rumour - Three Chords Good, Wreckless Eric & Amy Rigby - A Working Museum , Ani DiFranco - Which Side Are You On?
5. Corin Tucker Band - Kill My Blues (On her band's 2010 debut she stretched out in new musical directions but slightly withheld her passion. This time she lets it all out with the Sleater-Kinney rage added to her new found palette. The best of both worlds, as they say.)
4. Mountain Goats - Transcendental Youth (This was already the the 14th album of John Darnielle's outfit and the best since Tallahassee a decade before. The stories about losers and outcasts are embellished by more sophisticated arrangements than on other albums. The band has made subtle but witty albums all the time but this one is more memorable than usual which does not mean that any of their releases was ever bad. It is one of the bands I always had on my short lists for the recent years but they were always kicked out by stronger albums.)
3. Lee Ranaldo - Between the Times and the Tides (Of course I came to listen for some Sonic Youth on this album, but Ranaldo makes one forget about that pretty soon and instead invites to listen to his own statements. And...it is really worth to listen. He is a unique guitar player and shows it throughout the album - more than that, he is a very good and interesting songwriter who engulfs you with wonderful melodies. This is more of a rock album than his former band ever produced but there are enough off-mainstream moments that give away his sonic heritage.)
2. Datsuns - Death Rattle Boogie (They needed a decade and their fifth album to deliver what they promised on their debut - the perfect classic hard rock album of their generation. This time you no longer search for comparisons to the great 60s and 70s bands as they have established their sound now. The tracks are a tour de force of riffs, fuzz and energy but with the finesse of strong memorable melodies and vocals throughout. Even in the heyday of the 70s you may have to search long and among the best to find an equivalent album. Great. Did I mention that this is the only 5 star album in this whole series that comes from New Zealand?)
1. Dr. John - Locked Down (The first song I heard from him was 1970 Wash Mama Wash, they did not have the album in our record shop so I bought his older debut. Walk on Gilded Splinters and Jump Sturdy hypnotized me right away. He was 71 when he made Locked Down but he used the strength of his past to focus on the future. This album is one of his top ones and he rocks harder than he did throughout the whole previous decade. This is an album that starts already on a high note and then builds up with each song. The grandiose return of the original Gris Gris Night Tripper, a boiling hot funky stew.)
Here are the other 4 star albums from the year that did not make the top 10
11. Dion - Tank Full of Blues
12. Rodolphe Burger - This is a Velvet Underground Song That I'd Like to Sing
13. Smashing Pumpkins - Oceania
14. Scott Walker - Bish Bosh
15. Bob Dylan - Tempest
16. Bob Mould - Silver Age
17. dEUS - Following Sea
18. Garland Jeffreys - The King of in Between
19. Bonnie Raitt - Slipstream
20. Grace Potter & the Nocturnals - The Lion the Beast the Beat
21. Joe Bonamassa - Driving Toward the Daylight
22. Ian Hunter - When I'm President
23. Robert Cray - Nothin' But Love
24. Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Psychedelic Pill
25. Slash - Apocalyptic Love
26. Mission of Burma - Unsound
27. Waylon Jennings - Goin' Down Rockin'
I struggled this year. I thought it was pretty weak. So I'm counting on you to come to the rescue, Roxanne! No pressure. Heh-heh. (I'm already liking the Datsuns album.)
@@AbbeyRoadkill1 Be careful with Scott Walker, unless you know him already...
Good call on Dr John. I also think it's great

Hi Fran. Another interesting list. Nothing the same here. Had Beach House, Cloud Nothings, and a few others under consideration. I kind of missed Old ideas. Will listen. Beach House doesn't quite do it for me which is odd since I like psychedelic and shoegaze a lot. Hmmm. I tried. Cloud Nothings would have been on my list but I thought the record trailed off a bit.
Shearwater - Animal Joy
Meursault - Something for the Weakened
The Tallest Man On Earth - There's no Leaving Now
Dry the River - Shallow Bed
Perfume Genius - Put your back n 2 it
Lambchop - Mr M
Foy Vance - Melrose
John K Samson - Provincial

3. Gojira - L'enfant sauvage
4. Willy Mason - Carry On
5. Shonen Knife - Pop Tune
HMs: The Shins - Port of Morrow, Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, M.A.A.D City and Nile - At The Gate Of Sethu
Not sure about 2012 yet. Tame Impala - Lonerism, Frank Ocean - Channel Orange and Beach House - Bloom are probably the biggest contenders so far.
Looks like there’s gonna be quite the divide in Jason’s Clockwork Angels placement compared to Joe and Kramzer. 😉 I like it a good bit and consider it their best since Power Windows (probably a high 3-1/2 stars from me) but it probably wouldn’t be a contender if I heard a lot more from the year.
It’s a very distant 19th for me. -Jason
1. Ground Up - Snarky Puppy (I give it 5 Shih Tzus. Love that you can watch the recording too.)
2. Folila - Amadou & Mariam (I did not see anyone mention this album. They work with guest on most the album and it is a great fusion.)
3.Django Django - Django Django (One of my new favs for my daily 8 mile walk.)
4. The Something Rain - Tindersticks (Their best album in long time.)
5. Sun - Cat Power (Finally an album by her that I like. Guess fact that it isgreat to walk to helps - lol.)
6. Bravest Man In the Universe - Bobby Womack (Bet R&B fans hate it but I thought it was brilliant and they never overwhelm him.)
Hon.Mentions: Shields - Grizzley Bear, Sugaring Season - Beth Orton, Port of Morrow- The Shins, Mirage Rock - Band of Horses and the only Tame Impala album I like - Lonerism.
I also have Bobby Womack on my list. The songs and the voice are great, the production requires a bit to adjust if you are an old time Womack enthusiast (like me), but finally I could not but agree to the choices. To still embark on something new at the end of a career is quite bold and I have large respect for that. After all, the man had already made more than enough "conventional" albums.
My Favorite Five, of 2012:
1. MIKA - The Origin of Love
2. Rufus Wainwright - Out of the Game
3. Miniature Tigers - Mia Pharaoh
4. Mountain Goats - Transcendental Youth

Haven't been here in awhile. Always enjoy watching your Albums of the Year videos.
Interesting choices. This year turned out to be better than I remembered. My winner was an album I forgot was released in 2012 until last night.
1. Area 52 - Rodrigo y Gabriela and C.U.B.A. This is an amazing album. Rod and Gab went to Cuba, recruited a group of Cuban jazz musicians, and re-imagined their acoustic guitar classics. Rod returns to his roots and plays some electric guitar, guest artists include Anoushka Shankar on Sitar, the horns and piano and percussion are all incredible. If you like latin jazz, this album is a must.
2. Blak and Blu - Gary Clark, Jr. No surprise here. Gary has been a standout for me this past decade. Started the week at #1, but slid when I relistened to Area 52.
3. Boys and Girls - Alabama Shakes. Great debut. This album is better than I remembered, although it fades some toward the end. Also, could have used the song Always Alright, which somehow did not make it onto the album.
4. Little Broken Hearts - Norah Jones. Norah joins her sister on my list with her best album yet. This album is dark. So dark. Not what anyone would expect from the piano and acoustic guitar balladeer.
5. One Lovely Day - Citizen Cope. Another fine release from one of my favorite artists, although this is my least favorite album of his. Still, good enough for a top 5 finish.
6. The Truth About Love - Pink. I'm not a huge Pink fan, but this one is special. It would have finished higher, but at over an hour it is just too long, especially with the filler.
7. Battle Born - The Killers. A solid album, but not quite top 5 material.
8. Blunderbuss - Jack White. Some great stuff on here, and some forgettable as well. Still, good enough for the 8 spot.
1. Mark Lanegan Band - Blues Funeral -
2. The Heavy Horses - Murder Ballads & Other Love Songs -

I struggled to find anything that I really love in 2012. But some decent/good albums:
Amanda Palmer - Theater is Evil
Tindersticks - The Something Rain
Catherine Irwin - Little Heater
Johnny Dowd - No Regrets
Lana Del Rey - Born to Die
Jessica Pratt - Jessica Pratt
Death Grips - The Money Store
Susanne Sundfør - The Silicone Veil
2:54 - 2:54
Julia Holter - Ekstasis
Anna von Hausswolff - Ceremony
Grimes - Visions
Beth Jeans Houghton & The Hooves Of Destiny - Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose
Yay, some love for Susanne Sundfør!
I had the exact same experience. I really struggled to find an album that stood out among the crowd, that compelled me to pick it as winner. In the end, there just wasn't one. Every album I listened to was good-but-not-great. So I went with the album that had my favorite couple-three songs on it.
Thanks for the shout out but I wouldn’t worry too much about “appeasing the elder statesmen of the comments section” as some of us do actually listen to music post 1970’s.
A lot of it from the Listography trios own choices. “Bloom” by Beach House being one example 👍
After all, having given the “younger statesman” so much to listen too it seems only fair. 😉
Runner-Ups:
-Grizzly Bear - Shields
-Lana Del Rey - Born to Die
-Alt -J - An Awesome Wave
-Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, M.A.A.D City

Other nods missing the cut:
-Father John Misty - Fear Fun

Great list
1. Meta Meta - MetaL MetaL
2. Tulipa Ruiz - Tudo Tanto
3. Rodrigo Campos - Bahia Fantástica
4. Siba - Avante
5. Caetano Veloso - Abraçaço
My choice for 2012 is probably based on sentiment more than reason but the final studio release from Rush was a strong finish to the career of a legendary band. Even an average album by their standards is much better than most others could produce at their peak:
1. Clockwork Angels - Rush
2. Genesis Revised II - Steve Hackett
3. Blunderbuss - Jack White
4. The 2nd Law - Muse
5. Lonerism - Tame Impala
6. Afterglow - Black Country Communion
I need some guidance from you guys about whether my second placed album is admissible, or whether it is classed as a compilation and therefore ineligible. Genesis Revised II is a reworking of many of the band’s classic numbers, plus a few of Steve Hackett’s solo tracks. If it is ruled out, my numbers 3-6 will all be moved up one place.
If it’s a real album it counts. Artists are always redoing their old songs. We count those. - Joe
@@TastesLikeMusic thanks Joe. In that case, Steve Hackett’s album is a very close runner up for me.

It's interesting to watch how with each passing year, all 3 Listo guys become more firmly entrenched in their respective view-point . I find myself agreeing with Kramzer the most; just because of similar tastes. I would definitely have Spiritualized in Top 5; Frank Orange, Grimes, Surprised no one mentioned Tame Impala; the Maccabees, and Jack White's "Blunderbuss" was very good, but not as good as we hoped. Rufus Wainwright had a good album too. Celtic Bird mentioned Jake Bugg - forgot about that one.
I think I’m getting less entrenched but that’s just me. - Joe
Alt-J isn't popular in the states? Definitely does not reflect my experience. They were very, very popular at the time at least with other college students in Boston. That one just misses mine.
My top 5:
1. Jack White- Blunderbuss [my favorite thing he did]
2. Tame Impala- Lonerism
3. Frank Ocean- Channel Orange

3. Soundgarden - King Animal
2. John Mayer - Born and Raised
1. The Darkness - Hot Cakes
All of the four below deserve to be a top 5 album BUT I don't care for any or the
production on these. They all need an update / Steven Wilson remaster or something. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson
doesn't seem to be doing much.. Make a rework/remaster of Clockwork Angels the same way as what was done for "Vapor Trails". I'll buy it!
Europe - Bag of Bones
Rush - Clockwork Angels
UFO - Seven Deadly
Van Halen - A Different Kind of Truth
Also. Look at the cover for Van Halens A Different Kind of Truth and compare it to the cover of "Movin' On" by The Commodores in 1975 :)
Have a nice weekend everyone!
Hot Cakes has grown with time for me...such a cool album...still can't get over the Fade Out cover... astonishing vocals👍
@@threestringsomg Yes! I do think Hot Cakes might be their most poppy record but it is a very solid one. I think many see the band as a one hit wonder or a corny act but listening to all of their albums I think they are very underrated AND Justin Hawkins is easily one of the best frontmen in years. I think so many currrent rock bands has singers that you couldn't point out a day later. Justin Hawkins is a real personality like David Lee Roth, Lemmy, Freddie Mercury and the rest of the classic gang!
@@JohannesYtterstrom agreed...I also think Easter is Cancelled is great....rock and roll needs to die in order for the next thing to happen......even better rockl!!🤘✊

Toooooooatally forgot about Life is People. I heard it in the record store while I was looking around and my search was over
My favorite album of 2012 is "Battle Born" by The Killers.
1. Good Kid, Mad City - Kendrick Lamar
2. Lonerism - Tame Impala
3. Bloom - Beach House
4. Born To Die - Lana Del Rey
5. Neck of the Woods - Silversun Pickups
Welp, I still have Babel at my top stop for 2012. I don’t consider it as strong as ‘Sigh No More;’ but still a great follow up (I lose them quite a bit from there). The Shins new lineup worried me a smidge, but I do think Point of Morrow is still quite good.
I’m not familiar with Beach House, but based on Jason’s picks here, and it’s description, will definitely give them some listens.
My picks for 2012:
1. AotY: Babel, Mumford & Sons (second nomination, second win)
2. Point of Morrow, The Shins (fourth nomination, two previous wins)
3. Fear Fun, Father John Misty-->I’m with you Joe and Jason
4. Gossamer, Passion Pit
5. Nocturne, Wild Nothing
Honorable Mention:
Battle Born, The Killers
Born to Die, Lana Del Rey
The Idler Wheel, Fiona Apple
Little Broken Hearts, Norah Jones
Black and Blu, Gary Clark Jr
What the hell did I do in 2012? The only albums of that year that I still routinely go back to is Kendrick's M.A.A.D. City and Nada Surf's "The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy".
so dope to see the Centipede Hz love! As you can probably tell I absolutely adore that record
05 Clockwork Angels - Rush
04 Koi No Yokan - Deftones
03 Lonerism - Tame Impala
02 Banks Of Eden - The Flower Kings
01 Good Kid Maad City - Kendrick Lamar
2012 / Here are my favorites for that year / Mes favoris pour cette année sont :
1 : Nothin But Love - ROBERT CRAY BAND .
2 : Big Moon Ritual - CHRIS ROBINSON BROTHERHOOD .
3 : Release Me - LYLE LOVETT .
4 : For The Good Times - THE LITTLE WILLIES .
5 : The Danger Of Light - SOPHIE HUNGER .
Robert Cray's album was a nice surprise of 2012, he had done a lot of business-as-usual albums for a while and I was not expecting much from him anymore other than solid blues albums. This one was a return of sorts, even if I do not rank it that high myself, it is a 4 star album.
Love Lyle!

My third-to-the-last year not to be dominated by metal and metal-related material. I didn't care for Yellow and Green as much as the other Baroness albums, but I'll give it another listen at some point. Will definitely be checking out FJM, Wild Nothing (shoegaze and dream pop? I'm there), and Frank Ocean.
Runners-up to the runners-up: Rush - Clockwork Angels, Metric - Synthetica, Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel.
5. First Aid Kit - The Lion's Roar. I love "I'll be Your Emmylou."
4. Gojira - L'Enfant Sauvage.
3. Alcest - Les Voyages de L'Ame.
2. Beach House - Bloom.
1. Tame Impala - Lonerism.
All eight albums mentioned are four stars for me, although several might have a bullet...
Watching the 2012 A’s is the most fun I’ve had watching baseball
Giants winning okay
A’s winning the west on the last game amazing
It Bites: Map Of The Past
Marillion: Sounds That Can't Be Made
Public Image Limited: This Is PiL
Stranglers: Giants
Tulisa: The Female Boss
2012 was just okay for me overall but the stuff that hits- HITS
My top 5 for 2012 would be
1. Alelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! - Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Post rock kings return with an album that would be their best since the early 00s until the album they put out this year.)
2. Bloom - Beach House (most peoples favorite BH album, not really mine but damn its a good, accessible dream pop record.)
3. The Money Store - Death Grips (give it another 5 years, this album will be considered iconic for the Expiremental-sphere, probably THE iconic album in that realm for this time)
4. The Ilder Wheel.... - Fiona Apple (The moment where Fiona Apple was able to dissect herself to a t, heartwrenching self portrait)
5. Good Kid, m.a.a.d city - Kendrick Lamar (a now classic, Kendrick had yet to reach his full potential sonically, but the writing, the storytelling, the grimey nature of it, the reallness.)
G_d's Pee is def making my Top 5 so far this year...
I agree on your opinion about the new God Speed record being fantastic (it's maybe top 3 minimum)...but listening Ascend this week I felt it paled... dare I say drags compared to most others for me....which kind of shocked me....because I liked this record for ages...i think the atmosphere is as good as ever...but maybe not the execution of enough contrasts to keep you in there.....I think next few albums are all stronger musically...but hey what a great band!!👍
@@threestringsomg that's fair, i understand that opinion. For me it creates a whole world in my head that im walking through, like im walking in a dangerous side of the desert, which scratchs a big itch for me.
@@scottalic4067 mine too
@@Sapphire.solstice now that is God Speed in a nutshell....no other band today gets close to that for sure...perhaps Swans have some of that DNA in their stuff
This year was more about singles than albums for me. Hearing "Video Games" (which was huge Down Under) got me into Lana Del Rey so - as with Kramzer - Born to Die might be my favourite album for this year. I didn't mind Oceania (speaking of old bands and acts bringing out new records) but I don't know if it would make a top 5 of the year if I even remotely had six or seven more albums I could compare it with. If only I liked Tame Impala. Sigh. Much more homework for me.
I used to love music; I don't like any anti-music from 2012. Even Dinosaur Jr released a lousy Quiet album and they are hard rocking. I listened to the top 50 of 2012 and some of the suggestions below. Did Beck have a record out that year? I might have to go with Neil Young "Psychedelic Pill". Soundgarden, Neon Trees (at least they try to keep older pop/rock alive where the rest don't have a clue).
1.Lupe Fiasco - Food & Liquor II
2.Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City
3.Nas - Life Is Good
4.Bruno Mars - Unorthodox Jukebox
5.T.I. - Trouble Man

Sorry to be the pedant, but NY's Canadian
He’s a US citizen now, but I don’t know the rules of this game.
@@TastesLikeMusic He figured he compained about the US enough that he might as well join. Either that or he sold out his lofty morality for the Almighty Dollar.
Love the love for Bloom but The Seer (Swans) all day for me.. I might bang on about the next two records a lot 😊
Svartidaudi - flesh cathedral, Scott Walker - bish bosch (not his best but still...), Killing Joke -MMXII (not their best but...), 16 - Deeps cuts from dark clouds, Leonard Cohen - Old ideas , Snarky puppy - ground Up (not their best... and a kinda annoying band ofr different reasons... but still...)
My two fav albums are Tornado by Little Big Town, and Truth About Love By Pink!
Field Music-Plumb is my fave of 2012!
beach boys-that's why god made the radio, adam lambert-trespassing, garbage-not your kind of people, avett brothers-the carpenter, bridgit mendler-hello my name is.
Lonerism is the best album since the turn of the century
