Acclaimed Music Top 50 Albums from 2012 poll

The singles this year were just massive.

Went with Kendrick. He’s gone on to have one hell of a career, but GKMC has a lightness to it that I miss.

Funny how Born to Die was panned like crazy at first but retrospective rankings have put it in the top 10 here.

Gonna dissent - to me, this is a thoroughly humdrum year, as far as this poll is concerned, but also in general. Of Montreal, Micachu and Blut Aus Nord are my picks, and the only thing I'd consider voting for here is Kendrick, who of course doesn't need the votes

I agree. A lot of great artists on the list, but I'd rank nearly all of these albums somewhere in the 2nd - 4th range within their individual careers.

it does have the "bubbling under" which are the next on the list that aren't in the site's top 4000 all-time so i would have just used that

The bubbling under section is just a random list of like 200 more albums, I'm almost certain its not in any kind of order. In a way, I am still using it as I think all but one or two were on the bubbling under list.

I never proof read my posts before posting on here (I need an edit button), this time I did and found so many mistakes. Lesson learned I hope.

lots of stuff i like on here but not much i love except that mountain goats record which is prob my fav of theirs and kaleidoscope dream

Light Up Gold.

looking up old lists my actual favorite record from this year is Wild Nothing - Nocturne

Probably Actress, Andy Stott or Kendrick but a weaker year for me all told. A lot of this stuff feels older than 10 years somehow? List needs Shackleton, Raime, Panopticon and Pelt.

Light Up Gold.

can't you extend these polls for a little longer? they finish so fast

The Grimes single Oblivion and its video are great

still inclined to vote for Channel Orange though

I don't know that I would've voted for Jessie Ware in 2012, but that's what I'm doing now.

why set up a poll like this and then close it in 5 days?

Because five days is plenty of time and anything more is risking voter fraud!

I know I've engaged reluctantly with the last couple but these polls should really last 0 days. We'd all get a lot more out of discussing the ILM 77s from each year than relitigating critical consensus

Grimes - Visions
Swans - The Seer
Death Grips - The Money Store
Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
Baroness - Yellow & Green
Goat - World Music
The Mountain Goats - Transcendental Youth

I rep for all of these but my vote went to GOAT who are simply phenomenal.

I really wanted vote for Purity Ring or The Mountain Goats but this is very clearly Kendrick

Top 3 are amazing but wanted to throw out some love to Shields.

Voted for Swans. I should revisit it.

I mainly remember 2012 for illness with a soundtrack of Hindemith instead, for some reason. But from the list, Kaleidoscope Dream is the one giving the strongest "you should dig me out and re-listen this instant" vibes, so that.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Voted Julia Holter

So did I - definitely my favourite of hers.

Voted for Miguel, might have gone for Jessie Ware instead had I not somehow missed it. Think my favourite album from this year would be Koi no yokan by Deftones (their overall best album maybe).

I remember the Converge album being good, I should revisit that.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
