Actually I know that the world really doesn’t need another 2012 list but to be honest: I don’t care and hope that you’ll read it with some interest anyway. The problem about these sort of lists never was as obvious as this year though. While I was thinking about my favourite albums of 2012 I realized that there were many releases from 2011 that I just discovered during the past months so that they have not been mentioned in last year’s list though they were good enough that they had deserved to be in it.
