SO IT BEGINS! I'm gonna start with albums. Don't expect any flashy graphics, I simply don't have the talent or the time for those, and I missed Athens' thread YET again
Anyway, this list is about albums that I loved in 2012, NOT albums that were released in 2012, so any comment along the lines of "THAT ALBUM IS SO OLD!" will get 94 permanent WPs
The cutoff date was November 30th, so anything from the beginning of time until November 30th 2012 is eligible
15. Jon McLaughlin - Promising Promises
A recommendation from last.fm. It said he's similiar to Jason Mraz and John Mayer so obviously I had to check it out, and I was pleasantly surprised. It doesn't reach the levels of perfection that Mraz and Mayer have achieved, but it's certainly a very enjoyable album.
Top 5:
05. The Atmosphere
04. Without You Now
03. Summer Is Over (Feat. Sara Bareilles)
02. Promising Promises
01. You Never Know
14. Ed Sheeran - +
An amazing album that I checked out after watching The A Team and Small Bump on Mexican MTV. As amazing as it is, it reminds me of the last months that I got to spend with my husband and how much we both struggled, it probably would be much higher if the memories attached to the album weren't soo bitter.
Top 5:
05. You Need Me, I Don't Need You
04. Grade 8
03. Autumn Leaves
02. The A Team
01. Small Bump
13. Banda La Trakalosa - Doble Vida
A cute little Regional Mexican band from my city. I'm soo glad they're starting to blow up because they're amazing. They deserve every bit of the success they're gonna get soon.

11. Jason Mraz - Love is a Four Letter Word
I've been a fan of Mraz since I heard The Remedy in 2003, and he's practically never dissapointed me. This year's Mraz album was no exception. A great listen from beginning to end, no filler whatsoever.

03. Living In The Moment
02. Frank D. Fixer
01. The Woman I Love
Glad to see people liking Jon's music.
