Albums of the Year : apologies and explanations



I always thought I was John Cusack's character. Turns out I'm really Todd Louiso....


Aye, it's that time of year again.


By way of introducing the start of the countdown tomorrow, I'm here to explain my reasoning in compiling my top 25 of the year. Basically, it's records I've heard and loved in 2011, not influenced by other websites or magazines, just me and my thoughts on what I've loved this year.


There are some fine records that haven't made the final cut, so apologies in advance to, in no particular order: Treefight for Sunlight, Mountains, Peggy Sue, When Saints Go Machine, Gang Gang Dance (really sorry, that was tough), Tyler, Battles, Jessica Lea Mayfield, Jonathan Wilson, Beirut, Destroyer, Braids, The Dodos and Julianna Barwick. Still, Julianna's on Korallreven's album...


I should also add that I've not really listened to either Bon Iver's or PJ Harvey's records. I admire both, but for some reason I've just not listened to the albums from start to end. I'm sure youse'll get over it.


So that's it. Tomorrow, we kick off from number 25......ooooh, who will it be?
