    I bought the King Tuff record but haven't given a listen yet.

    Looking forward to the new Oh Sees record that's coming out in a bit. Anyone else?
    I suspect that will be on my top of 2012 list.

    Yep that one, and waiting for the Ty Segal Vinyl release of Slaughterhouse later this month

    I'm going to have to add in that Milo Greene is gonna be another for me. Album comes out on the 17th, but am streaming it now (http://hypem.com/artist/Milo%20Greene) and I am loving the album after the first listen. An amazing live band as well.

    The Baroness Green and Yellow
    Yeah its not out yet but i know its gonna kill everything :)

    Just kidding i've saddly been withdrawn from music this year. I usually devour music but i've just not been doing it. Some of your list are great as it gives em a starting point at some stuff i may have missed.

    (oh and for hte record i've heard the baroness album a couple times and it is killer)

    Blues Funeral is my favourite of the year. I keep going back to listening to that album. After that, probably Neil Young's Americana and Japandroids' Celebration Rock.
    I'd put Rhythm And Repose between Blues Funeral and Americana on my quoted list.
