Favourite Album of 2011

To me at least it seemed easier to single out the best albums last year.
All the more reason for a thread methinks.

I've listened to Peaking Lights '936' a lot this year.

Peaking Lights - Hey Sparrow - YouTube

Underneath the Pine by Toro y Moi, Parallax by Atlas Sound or Tomboy by Panda Bear. With M83 not far behind

1. Björk - Biophilia
   
2. tUnE-YarDs – w h o k i l l
   
3. Battles – Gloss Drop

936 is an amazing album. Definitely deserving the hype.

Wild Beasts - Smother

Active Child - You Are All I See, stands out amongst others

as mentioned before The Tuneyards who kill, I really enjoyed the SBTRKT record, oh and definitely Dominic Eulbergs Diorama

PJ Harvey, The Horrors - Skying and Plaid - Scintilli for me

I've always enjoyed Half Man Half Biscuit, and '90 Bisodol (Crimond)' didn't disappoint.

Seconded

Wild Beasts - Smother

I second Skying... awesome!

Plaid - Scintilli -consistantly absorbing, low key electronic brillliance
Kate Bush- 50 words for snow- an unashamed inclusion, she can do no wrong
