Overall, a GREAT year for music... really enjoyed stuff this year more than I have in awhile. Also, some artists released EPs that stood up just as well as their amazing full lengths. Owen Pallett and Flying Lotus both had excellent EPs that deserve to be listened to.
Let me know if there are any good ones you think I might have missed. I didn't get around to listening to everything.
