Ta.
The Horrors - Skying
Black Keys, El Camino
4everevolution by Roots Manuva
This Town Needs Guns - This Town Needs Guns
or
Coheed And Cambria - In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3
Probably listened to PJ Harvey's Let England Shake the most.
Times of Grace - Hymn of a Broken Man
Hate these questions, but snap decision.
Scroobius Pip - Distraction Pieces.
slainte 😀 rob
Top 3 (I find it hard to narrow down to just one):
Pedals - Rival Schools
Yuck - Yuck
David comes to life - F*cked Up.
Plains of the Purple Buffalo
*shels
God Willin' & the Creek Don't Rise by Ray LaMontagne.
Tonight's the Night by Neil Young. It came out nearly 40 years ago, but it's better than all the above, and below. 😆
On The Beach by Neil Young. It came out nearly 40 years ago, but it's better than all the above*, and below.
(although GG's come close)
DJ Shadow - if you skip track 3 🙂
Has to be the Naked & Famous - Passive Me Aggressive You. I've listened to 1000s of tracks, but that's the only album I've listened to regularly.
My best of tracks are on Mixcloud if you fancy a listen
http://i.mixcloud.com/CyAeF & http://i.mixcloud.com/CyAfD
[edit]Can't see any point whatsoever in mentioning old classic albums 😐
Dez - you're a legend!
The Harrow and the Harvest - Gillian Welch.
Wasn't mad about it to start with but found it was a real grower.
Kind of Blue by Miles Davis
I'm a bit behind the times 
[i]Dez - you're a legend![/i]
Definitely not enough rap stuff in there though!
Not 1 but 5 and in no particular order...
tUnE yArDs - w h o k i l l
Ryan Adams - Ashes & Fire
M83 - Hurry Up We're Sleeping
Thee Oh Sees - Carrion Crawler
Bill Wells and Aidan Moffat - Everything's Getting Older
Definitely not enough rap stuff in there though!
I've been out of the rap loop recently...
Can't see any point whatsoever in mentioning old classic albums
I speak the truth though. 😉
Except maybe for higgo's post. 😆
2009, but:
Glitter and Doom Live - Tom Waits
best live album I've heard, he's got a tight band
Jonathon Wilson - Gentle Spirit
http://www.bellaunion.com/index.php/site/news/introducing_jonathan_wilson
Perfect for any Neil Young fans
The stuff that came out on Bella Union this year has been fantastic with I Break Horses coming a close 2nd to Jonathon Wilson.
Neil Young is rubbish
Actually I have to include Tame Impala - Innerspeaker
Byetone -syMeta
Rustie - glass swords
Warpaint - the fool ( deluxe)
Bon iver- bon iver
Neil Young is rubbish
😆
It has actually been a fantastic year for music. Some really good stuff.
yeah, sorry I mean "old" 😀
DezB - MemberNeil Young is rubbish
You mean to say you didn't enjoy the three-quarters of an hour rendition of his 5-gazillion year old hit that he played at Glastonbury ❓ ❗
Me either...
True. He's still good though. 😉
This performance is pretty good. He was quite old then too:

DJ Shadow - The Less You Know, The Better. Although I think Track 3 is OK.
Nah, seriously, the man is a legend in every way, but the lyrics on his last album are complete [u]rubbish[/u] and render some incredible guitar playing unlistenable. So "old" is correct. And "rubbish" in 2011.
Not heard that Shadow record, it's got to be better than the last album though, hasn't it?
As for new music, I thought the new Beastie Boys album was decent. But then everything they do is.
Edit: Ah, but Dez, it's the Neil Young cycle. He's got to bring out a rubbish album at least once every couple of years. Just because he can. It's the law! 😆
Fink - Perfect Darkness
Within Temptation - The Unforgiven
90 Bisodol (Crimond) by Half Man Half Biscuit. Sheer genius.
PJ Harvey - Let England shake
[i]As for new music, I thought the new Beastie Boys album was decent.[/i]
Well done. I knew you could do it... twas a good album of 2011 🙂
Shadow album has it's moments - the Little Dragon track is good.
Sans Souci by Brontide
Stephen Wilson - Grace for drowning
Opeth - Heritage
Devin Townsend - Deconstruction
The A-Team:
Let England Shake - PJ Harvey
Apocalypse - Bill Callahan
The Harrow & The Harvest - Gillian Welch
Subs bench:
Wolfroy Goes to Town - Bonnie Prince Billy
El Camino - The Black Keys
Alison Krauss and paper airplane for me.
