One quarter of the year has already passed. Let's vote on the best album that has been released so far this year.



My vote goes to The Alabama Shakes - Boys & Girls

Not a huge country fan, but I think Lee Brice's new album comes out today and he already has a #1 single on it.

Albatross by Big Wreck. I think this band is under the radar, great band from canada.

this one is pretty good.

I think Santigold's new album is the best though

I guess my favorite thus far is Cloud Nothings- Attack on Memory.

But ask me again in a month from now when I have given some time to the new Moonface, Ramona Falls, Beach House records.

Jack White- Blunderbuss
Katie Melua- Secret Symphony
Lukas Nelson & The Promise Of The Real- Wasted

I can't really choose between these three.

These are probably the ones I am enjoying the most. There is a lot I need to listen to, of course.

Dr. John
Alabama Shakes
Howlin Rain
Horse Feathers

I can't think of any from 2012 right away, but Storm Corrosion and Rush are both set for release this summer.

Thank you. I knew I had to be missing at least one. That's my winner so far.

I really like the Django Django self title. It's probably my favorite so far.

I haven't really sat down and listened to the new Shins album yet so I dunno about that one.

Is it just me or has this year been REALLY underwhelming as far as new music being released?

I haven't been overly impressed by this year. I probably haven't been as aggressive in looking for new stuff as in the past few years though,, so I guess it possibly I have overlooked some good stuff.

New Dr. John. I also got an advance copy of the new Eric Lindell. Both of these are my tops so far for 2012.

This would be my close second behind the shakes new album. Those two are pretty much the only things I've been listening to recently
