It would have to be any of the following by Sunset Rubdown:
Snakes Got a Leg
Stadiums and Shrines 2
Swimming
Us one's in between
A notable absence from the album of the year as well!
Wasn't exactly blown away by Sunset Rubdown but I know how you feel, and I was one of the people who voted in the Cluas writers albums of the year. A lot of my faves didn't make it in either, but that's just the way polls go sometimes. My favourite Album this year was "Orchestra of Bubbles" by Ellen Allien & Apparat, but no-one else liked it. Everybody maybe 2-3 albums that they liked and other writers liked too, but their absolute favorite probably doesn't make it because it only appeals to them, and thats how the music scene has sort of gone on a larger scale too. Pop(ular) music really is dead for the moment, music is very fractured these days, there's no real consensus, very little that you could say almost everyone listens to. No. 1 singles are no longer truly massive in sales.
OK, we've only had about three people pick their fave tune on this thread so far but it's interesting that no-one has agreed on what the single best tune of the year is?
