Here it is. My countdown of my favorite albums of 2012. Though it's not a surprising #1 choice...my number one surprises me...because I don't love the album. Anyway, you'll have to wait to see what that is...until then...it's time for your input.
Every year I ask you, my readers, to give me your twenty best/favorite albums. The only rule...the album has to have been released in 2012. That's it.
You don't need 20...if you only have 10...5...or even if you only like one release...that's fine! Just post your top picks in the comment section. Or email me. And I'll add them all together and post the tally on January 1st (roughly). Last year we had over 200 people vote...let's see if you we can top that this year.
The Best Albums of 2012 (45-55):
45. Trust - TRST
