Phillip Phillips' The World from the Side of the Moon makes it at #2 on my Best of 2012! He first caught my attention with his song titled "Home" and after listening to his debut album I must say I am very impressed. And this is coming from an American Idol act that I thought I would dislike.

He's likeable as their isnt really much to dislike. It may take a while to liken to his music though as his subject of music is something slightly different that takes getting time to know.
