The Zimmermann Note’s Top 26 Albums For The Year
The experts that were involved in creating the worlds most extensive and far-reaching list of great songs over the past year have outdone themselves with this additional listing of the best albums of the year. Settling on 26, these albums will not only define your mood but the t-shirts, wool sweaters, trousers and geeky glasses you wear as well.
When it came down to it, LCD Soundsystem took the cake as the best album of the year. There were about 5 or 6 in the running but I think from start to finish this album was fun, experimental and yet accessible and is definitely something that you should spend your hard earned iTunes Gift Cards on.
Deerhunter is a strong second, continuing their progression into all things psychaedelic. And Caribou gets the bronze medal for an equally engaging electronic treat.
However, as the experts would say, all these albums staring you in the face in your iTunes library will make you fitter, happier and more productive.
