OK, not really a list as I don't do those anymore, but here's a small selection of randomly ordered albums from this year that I realkly like for various moods. And yes, these picks change almost daily.

When I wanna rock the fuck out...

OFF!: The First Four EPs
Keith Morris and a guy from Red Kross and some new kids blow the joint apart with hardcore blasts straight outta 1981. This thing just smokes.
Honorable mentions to Davilla666: Tan Bajo, Hunx and His Punx: Too Young to Be in Love, & The Misfits: Devil's Rain (mostly just for the song Where Do They Go)

When I wanna chill the fuck out...(electronic category)

Nicolas Jaar: Space is Only Noise
Most of you have listened to this for sure if you're interested in this sort of laid back dance-music influenced electronica. Headphone listening highly recommended, sounds ping all over the place with this one, almost seems designed with headphones in mind. This is one of those records I fully expect to still be listening to years from now.
Honorable mentions to Ken Seeno: Invisible Surfer on an Invisible Wave, Jürgen Müller: Science of the Sea & Pulse Emitter:Spiritual Vistas.

When I wanna chill the fuck out...(acoustic category)

J. Masics: Several Shades of Why
Really nice intimate acoustic album from the Dinosaur Jr. frontman. I was never really much into that group, but this album has grabbed me enough that I've since delved back into their catalog...and I still like this as a whole better than anything they did.
Honorable mention to Middle Brother:S/T, Exene Cervenka:The Excitement of Maybe & Beach Fossils: What A Pleasure.

When I wanna hear something somewhere in-between...

Washed Out: Within and Without
I guess this is more Chillwave, but this album has a great pop sensibility and excellent propulsion throughout. A really cohesive listen from start to finish without getting boring or feeling too monotonous.
Honorable mentions to Fujiya and Miyagi: Ventriloquizzing, The Cults: S/T & The Dirtbombs: Party Store

When I wanna hear some droning oddball stuff...

Zomes: Earth Grid
Drones and tape loops. Not a ton of variety here, but the whole thing holds together and the individual songs keep my attention. The pacing is quicker and the loops more rhythmic than a lot of this sort of thing and I think that's probably what hooks me.
Honorable mentions to: Prurient: Time's Arrow, Willamette: Echo Park, & Mountains: Air Museum

When I wanna hear some soul music...

Charles Bradley: No Time for Dreaming
I still think this one really has one mega-track that carries the rest of the album. Thena gain when it is a song as good as The World (Is Going Up in Flames), that can be just fine.
Honorable mentions to Jill Scott: The Light of the Sun &Raphael Saadiq: Stone Rollin.

Other people who made stuff I liked a lot this year: Lee Noble, Mind Spiders, Teenage Panzerkorps, The Kills, Barn Owl, Panabrite, Roy Ellis, Anthony Hamilton, Skybombers, Teen Daze, Girls, Run DMT, Sean McCann, Grouper, Balam Acab and several more I am forgetting.

Song of the year even though I'm not so big on the rest of the album.... Post Break Up Sex by the Vaccines.

thanks for turning me onto this song, it's really good.

Been meaning to listen to that Jaar and just haven't gotten around to it.

A lot of your honorable mentions rank pretty high for me (Barn Owl, Lee Noble, Prurient). Also really enjoyed that Hunx and His Punx, though I am not terribly vocal about it. Some stuff mentioned here that I will for sure make a point to check out.

Completely agree on that Jaar being a headphone record though. There is some really well thought out layering and movement on there.

Yeah, Barn Owl has been really good the last couple of years. In 2011, I actually liked their Shadowland EP better than their full length, although both were good. Still think Conjurer is the best of theirs though. Time's Arrow was a great EP from Purient and I've been digging Bermuda Drain on tape with all the bonus stuff.

And yeah, first time I heard that Jaar with headphones I was pretty stunned with the way some of the sounds move around that way. Still sounds good otherwise to me, but yeah the headphone experience is really great with that one.

Couple things I have just grabbed in post-Xmas shopping should probably get mentions too, Nate Young: Stay Asleep on NNA vinyl is really good even if I wish it were a bit longer. And another really short but excellent release is Nils Frahm: Juno. I've been so so on what else I've heard of him, mostly minimal classical piano, but he runs his piano through some electronics and gets some cool effects on this 7".

Oh, and on the more rocking end of the spectrum, if you liked Hunx & his Punx, Sharon & the Clams is another group that has a similar retro campy vibe. Also I forget to mention Rubble: The Farewell Drugs, King Coffey from Butthole Surfers and some other cohorts lay down some seriously rocked out Texas Psych.

A lot of fun stuff this year.
Still stuff off your list I'll need to check out.
