2011's been a pretty great year for music, it has to be said. Yes, of course I'm ignoring the singles chart. That waterhole was poisoned long ago. I'm tired and I'm feeling slightly more despondent than usual, so here's your obligatory Top 10 albums of the year. Please note, these aren't necessarily the best in my eyes, but are my favourites; the ones I've had the most enjoyment out of. In reverse order...
10. DRC Music - Kinshasa One Two
9. Elbow - Build A Rocket Boys!
8. Gorillaz - The Fall
7. Chickenfoot - III
6. Foo Fighters - Wasting Light
5. Kasabian - Velociraptor!
4. RHCP - I'm With You
3. White Lies - Ritual
2. Radiohead - The King Of Limbs
1. Arctic Monkeys - Suck It And See
There's a reasonable amount of variety on show with these albums, and for me, each and every one of them offered a lot to be enjoyed. The critics may not have taken to them particularly well, especially in the case of White Lies, but fuck the critics...this is my Top 10. I hope you all have a rather spiffing new year, and that 2012 brings a fuckton of persistent happiness. It won't, because we're living in reality; but hey, here's to hoping? It's time for me to run along and be all miserable, so if you don't mind... Ciao.
