Well after a week of going through my records and CD's of the past year, I have finally come up with my top ten list for the year 2012. These top ten are albums that have got regular play through out the year. Of course a guy can only afford so much, so these are the albums I have got, I am sure there were many other good ones out there last year that I haven't got around to buying yet. I would be interested in hearing what your top ten were. Maybe you can turn me on to some new music. Feel free to list your faves from 2012.
