You know what I hate? People who publish their end of year lists the first week of December. Can you guys relax?*
With that off my chest - here's this year's top 25. Along with a link to 100 of my favorite tracks of 2012 - on Spotify. These are definitely 25 albums I've played the most / loved the most - but the actual rankings are fairly fluid. #2 could be #7, and vice versa. No strong feelings and based solely on how i feel today. (which is great, thanks for asking!)
*this rant may or may not have a little to do with my own procrastination / need to validate the 2013 posting date of a 2012 list. Oops.
