Another year when I have enjoyed listening to and seeing a lot of music. I don’t think this was as good a year for music as last year and I struggled to decide what came on this list. These are the records I’ve listened to the most this year.
Once again there is a great album from last year which I only got to hear this year:
Robert Ellis - Photographs
As for the song of the year, that was pretty easy to chose this year. The first time I saw Robert Ellis he played an unreleased song - Home Again and I loved it. I took this video later in the year: Robert Ellis - Home Again
Previous years: 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
