The End Is Near

It's almost every musicbloggers duty to wrap up the year and do a list of the best albums and so on. I decided not to number it since I actually don't see the point in doing it. How big is the difference between number 9 and number 8? It's minimal and out of relevance. So here you go, my year-end lists in no chronological order at all:
