Best Albums Of The Year Lists

[SteveO]

I love the Fiona Apple ..Idler Wheel and will seek out Swans and Dirty Projector ! I was just going to ask Crazy mate about Perth's Tame Impala as this album interests me also !

Is Captain Beefheart's Bat Chain Puller a reissue ?

1. Diamond Terrifier - Kill the Self That Wants to Kill Yourself
2. Captain Beefheart - Bat Chain Puller
3. Swans - The Seer
4. El-P - Cancer 4 Cure
5. The Shaolin Afronauts - Quest Under Capricorn
6. Charles Gayle Trio - Streets
7. Colin Stenson & Mats Gustafsson - Stones
8. Tame Impala - Lonerism
9. Rush - Clockwork Angels
10. Death Grips - The Money Store

The Tame Impala album and the Death Grips one were put where they were because I couldn't remember any other albums that I liked this year, and while those certainly are good albums, they're not as great as the ones that precede it. Plus I did plan having Rush at 8 and Tame Impala at 9, but the latter has really grown on me.

EDIT: I just reread the OP, and I saw that these were from sites. Should I find one that I like or is it alright if I leave my top ten?

At any rate, here's the Rate Your Music top charts:
1. Swans - The Seer

7. Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do
