Lists

The last 25, then. A few of you have asked for some help as to what these records sound like. I’ll try and put some links into these lists over the next few days, and also a blog of favourite track clips that might help a bit. See you what you think, anyhow… Previously: 112-76 Previously: 75-51 Previously: 50-26

Nearly there now: the third instalment of my personal favourite albums of the year… Previously: 112-76 Previously: 75-51

OK, here’s the second part of my 2012 albums list… Previously: 112-76

Preamble: I’m going to start rolling out this list over the next couple of days whenever I get a chance to post. Apologies, first, for the weird number…

Pondering what to write about this morning, it occurred to me that there were more things to say about my favourite albums of 2012 so far, following up from this Top 40 that I posted last week. For a start, a bunch of records that I forgot to include:

Here we go, then: my 40 favourite albums of 2012 thus far. A very personal list, I should say, so please don’t think it constitutes any kind of canonical Uncut pronouncement.

Just before Christmas, you may remember, I asked for your 2011 Top Tens, in response to my lengthy end-of-year effort.

And after 100 to 76, 75 to 51 and 50 to 26, here's my rough top 25. Thanks for indulging me.

Part three of my rundown. Check out 100 to 76 and 75 to 51, too.
