Favorite albums of 2012

Here’s my list of favorite albums of 2012. I no longer try to listen to everything that comes out. Too old and too busy. And over the years what I like has narrowed to cull out a lot of things that might otherwise be deserving of mention on such a list. One thing you’ll quickly notice on my list is a significant number of old-timers who are still producing great work. It was a good year for legends who aren’t over-the-hill just yet.

2. Bob Dylan, Tempest

3. Bruce Springsteen, Wrecking Ball

    Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
    put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic
    but I had to tell someone!

    certainly like your web site but you have to check the spelling on quite a few of your posts.
    Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I to find it very
    troublesome to inform the truth however I’ll definitely come again again.

    Hello, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it
    has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Other then that, great blog!
