This first one that comes to mind is Gotye, Making Mirrors. This could be because my memory is bad, or it could be because it is the only one I can remember after Friday night at Belvoir.

Evl, you have pretty good taste in music generally.. that is to say something like my taste.

Can't really get into weeknd tho, I did give it 5 listens but it didn't quite grab me...

Best album is hard for me, I don't generally do albums these days...

How about DJ tomcat's Easy E vs Johnny cash album. Something a bit different.



I liked this album from 2011, it has a grimey futurebeat sound. Free listen/download here:

Most people turn 28, stop listening to music, then declare whatever was popular when they were 12-28 was the all time greatest period of music. When the baby boomers ran the press it was the f'in late 60's early 70's that were idolised like nothing else.

Elbow- "Build a Rocket Boys"
Easy listening. Great album to unwind to on a cruisy Sunday morning.
Their earlier acoustic works on Youtube are also worth a look.

I don't think I would call it my album of the year because I think I will get sick of it fairly quickly but it's my latest purchase and I am enjoying it ATM
The Black Keys "El Camino"

blogs.crikey.com.au/earworm/2011/12/15/the-black-keys-el-camino-review/



One of my most listened to albums lately is one of Putumayo's compilation albums "Acoustic Cafe" that is really laid back and easy listening but I guarantee it won't be for everyone.
