Discovered the Frames this year and love them! I think Glen Hansard is now one of my favourite musicians given his great work with this band, The Swell Season and his new solo work.

Sailing to Philadelphia - Mark Knopfler
Apr 2-Apr 8
This is only Mark Knopfler solo album that I gave a listen to outside of his work with Dire Straits. Not up to the best of Straits but very good regardless.

5 appearances (by July)! This isn't quite the best song ever by Soundgarden but even mediocre Soundgarden is better than 90% of the bands out there, in my opinion.

Neck Of The Woods - Silversun Pickups

This is one of the best albums of 2012. SSPU have really made a musical leap forward this time around.

Bear Creek - Brandi Carlile
Jun 4-Jun 10
Brandi Carlile returns with her best album since her debut 6 years ago. Sounds fresher and livelier than any of her albums since the first one.

Exile on Main St. - The Rolling Stones
Jun 25-Jul 1
The best RS album? Possibly, though they have at least half a dozen stunning ones. This song features Keith Richards on lead vocals for a change.
