After coming up with this list, I realized that I didn't listen to as much new music as I thought I had. The few new albums that I did listen to were some pretty solid albums. Like every year, there were those disappointments, a new face, and those that always release a decent album. In my opinion, this year was the most unpredictable. The bands that surprised me the most were Swedish House Mafia and Keane. Two bands that I was always aware of, but never gave a proper listen to. Had I made my list longer, Swedish House Mafia would be ranked a#11.
And here we go...
