The Main Event! The Big Ticket!!!

Hello Sports fans!  Welcome to the big event! The votes are in and the ballots have been counted.  2012 was a hit and miss year for music with a lot of albums that just weren’t that great.  But in the midst of all the mediocrity, 11 albums made the top of the heap. 

It is now time for your humble writers here at ana-logs to post the albums that we feel in our opinions were representative of best of the year. 

Below you will find my top 10 along with Scrap224’s top 5.  Each album in the top  5 has been reviewed by each of us.  believe me when I say that while we can agree on music, our tastes are very different so you will be able to see differing viewpoints on almost everything.  Take our words and get some of these albums for yourself and make your own decision.  

While we tend to endorse vinyl, these are also available on cd and in digital markets. Pick them up in any format you listen to your music and just enjoy
