2012:

1. Lee Fields & The Expressions - Faithful Man
2. Ty Segall - Twins
3. La Sera - Sees the Light (first 6 songs)

THAT'S FUCKING IT. I spent most of 2012 listening to Lee Fields, Menahan Street Band, Charles Bradley, and some of the good stuff from 2011 (e.g. Surfer Blood, Smith Westerns, Real Estate). I probably listened to a couple Sharon van Etten tracks more than anything else, but I haven't liked her full album samples enough to actually purchase all of anything.

As for Alt-J... I can't get over the fact that the dude's voice sounds like Adam Sandler doing his "annoying Adam Sandler" voice.

I asked more than 20 people, and more than 1 of them was a female.
