What do Newschoolers think is the best album of 2012? Doesnt matter what genre, it can be any album.

Mine would have to be:
The Heist by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (hate me for it)

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar

and to switch it up a bit... Night Visions by Imagine Dragons

I would definitely agree with GKMC, don't really listen to many other types of music nowadays, but I'm interested to hear what else is out there.

This so much. I've probably listened to the boxer 1000 times. And it was my dads favorite song when he was younger too which I think is pretty cool

Anyone who thinks the GOOD Music Compilation was one of the top hip hop albums of 2012, much less albums in general of 2012, needs to get their hearing checked. About 50% of that album was fantastic, the other 50 was absolutely awful.

How the shit has no one said ∆ - An Awesome Wave yet?! That and Aesop Rock - Skelethon are, in my opinion, the best albums of the year hands down.
