- These lists are meant to be fun.
- I haven't heard every record that was put out this year (if I have listened to a few hundred albums then I would be happy with that), so don't be upset when you don't see records that "deserved" to make it.
- Who cares what some nerd picks for his albums of the year? All I am hoping for is that a few of you will read this list and give some of these albums a listen.
- This has been an unbelievable year for music. Just thinking about it, I heard some serious contenders for my "album of the year" from multiple genres: R&B, Rap, Punk, Dream Pop, Psychedelic Rock, Electronica, Jazz, Folk, Adult Contemporary, Indie Rock, and whatever genre Alt-J is...
