October 12, 201114 yr will Elmatic - Elzhi count? "A labor of love for ELZHI, the project finds the Detroit emcee creating new songs out of Nas’s original titles while rapping over the Will Sessions Band’s interpretation of the original beats." As in, the music is unoriginal. Just covers. But the rapping is orignal. 50/50 :dizzy:
October 13, 201114 yr Well, I suppose it would techincally count, as this is the first time the artist has recorded the songs.
October 13, 201114 yr Bjork, St. Vincent, and PJ Harvey but not Feist? :( Oh don't get me wrong, it was definitely in consideration. My list changes constantly so I made sure to note "subject to change." In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Metals ultimately ends up on my final list :P
October 14, 201114 yr 1) M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming 2) Bon Iver - Bon Iver, Bon Iver 3) St. Vincent - Strange Mercy 4) Feist - Metals 5) Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
October 16, 201114 yr 1. Johnny Foreigner - Johnny Foreigner vs Everything 2. Los Campesinos! - Hello Sadness 3. Bombay Bicycle Club - A Different Kind of Fix 4. The Antlers - Burst Apart 5.

Tellison - The Wages of Fear 10. The Joy Formidable - The Big Roar Keeping it simple - top 10 list. There is my first draft, subject to change.
October 20, 201114 yr It hurts when you know that just about all of your favorite albums this year have no chance on making it to the final round. :p :nod: I'll just stick with a top 10 this year. I've left out the more obscure albums (my actual favourites) which were never going to chart high anyway. This list is subject to change, of course. 1. Radiohead - The King Of Limbs 2.

October 20, 201114 yr I have no flying idea how Mylo Xyloto will factor into my list if at all. UWTB or POC might make a spot in my SOTY list, but MX probably won't make my top ten.
