So here we are, the second half of our albums of the year list. The final countdown from 15-1. There was never really any doubt in my mind what would be number one. Attack On Memory bagged that top spot after the first listen. Any of the albums on this list are worth your time and money though, and the artists really do deserve and need your support if they are to continue to make and release music.
There’s a Spotify list as well to give a sampler of the albums, and next week I’ll be playing some of my favourite tracks of the year from albums that didn’t make the list, some singles and also music from some of the artists we lost in 2012. See you then!
