ANOTHER Music List!?

Last time I gave you my list of the top songs of the year.  So this time it's a list is my favorite albums of the year.  Note that my “baby boomer” bias is showing by including three artists well into their 60’s or better, and one who’s been dead over forty years (but had a really fine album of unreleased material this year).  Don’t get me wrong though – some of the music these young kids are making these days is groovy too.

1. Random Access Memories – Daft Punk
2. Elements of Light - Pantha du Prince
3. The Next Day - David Bowie
4. The Worse Things Get… - Neko Case
5. The Civil Wars – The Civil Wars
6. Bankrupt - Phoenix
7. Trouble Will Find Me - The National
8. Electric – Richard Thompson
9. Kids Raising Kids - Kopecky Family Band
10. Walking in a Pretty Daze – Kurt Vile
11. Innocents - Moby
12. Paracosm – Washed Out
13. People, Hell and Angels – Jimi Hendrix
14. Hummingbird - Local Natives
15. Reflektor – Arcade Fire
16. The Silver Gymnasium – Okkervil River
17. Modern Vampires of the City - Vampire Weekend
18. The Electric Lady – Janell Monáe
