In case it isn't painfully obvious, I was very much into and thus partial to dream-pop and dark folk this year.

Yeah, there's a few releases I may have missed, overlooked, or didn't bother to hear in their entirety (Bon Iver, Fucked Up, Gutter Twins,Woven Hand, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Max Richter…), but please don't waste my time by mentioning Atlas Sound, TV on the Radio, MGMT, No Age, Jay Retard, etc.
