lvenice88 (December 20, 2012)

Finally someone mentions how amazing fambly is!

kylewagoner (December 20, 2012)

Fuck! I made my top ten list and have been meaning to fit that on there but totally forgot about it while making said list!

imsoawesome (December 20, 2012)

I know man! I can't believe it took so long, that album is so much goodness.

shred74 (December 20, 2012)

Fucking amazing album.

levidolphin (December 24, 2012)

incredible album!!! I cant wait to hear more!

twstdbydsn (December 20, 2012)

I think Pete and I would get along at a bar.

Johnnyz77 (December 21, 2012)

Pete's list is pretty damn good but i would add Classics of Love disc and of course the Bouncing Souls Comet CD. but it would be a little too much to add your own CD to your top list of the year.

Skibz777 (December 20, 2012)

What's with all the f***ing cartoon pictures?! Knock it off! But seriously, kudos to Ms. Denitzio, whose list actually includes one of my own Top 20 picks. She will be pleased to learn that we are kindred spirits and I shall await for her suicide to be reported on the site tomorrow.

Somebody give me recommendations for this year's better post-hardcore albums. I've got a hell of a lot of listening to do before the 31st.

ozmanx (December 20, 2012)

It's not a cartoon, I'm pretty sure that photo was taken from "The Cosby Show" Graphic Novel by Spike Lee.

Skibz777 (December 20, 2012)

Graphic novel = comic book = cartoon = shit.

ozmanx (December 20, 2012)

A shit doesn't always have be bad does it? I've heard others say, "That was a good shit." There's some good in there my friend. Poke around and see for yourself.

paulsilence (December 20, 2012)

The physical object, shit, once released into the world often brings such a great feeling. I feel re-energized. Yes, shit is good, my friend. Makes me want to read some graphic novels.

Skibz777 (December 20, 2012)

You're both disgusting. If you want to play with your bodily wastes, by all means, do: it's just as dignified as watching cartoons, after all. >:[

ozmanx (December 20, 2012)

Sorry no playing for me, I'm not G.G. Allin.

Tudor (December 20, 2012)

Speaking of cartoons, this is how I imagine you.

Skibz777 (December 20, 2012)

I'm honestly not sure if that's an insult or a compliment. Seriously.

Besides, this is more what I'm really like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MHg1-mpcUY .

Skibz777 (December 20, 2012)

As a side note, that is literally how I perceive the entire field of animation.

Tudor (December 20, 2012)

imadeanaccountjustforthis (December 20, 2012)

...are you serious? It's the Cleveland Show. It's an awful, awful cartoon.

Skibz777 (December 20, 2012)

Nothing featuring Kevin Michael Richardson can be altogether bad.

imadeanaccountjustforthis (December 20, 2012)

I don't know who that is, all I know is it's the worst thing Seth MacFarlane has ever had a hand in.

Skibz777 (December 20, 2012)

He's a voice actor, and one of my personal favorites, to be quite frank.

ozmanx (December 20, 2012)

I am serious... and don't call me Shirley. That is clearly Theo Huxtable holding a baby That's So Raven.

imadeanaccountjustforthis (December 21, 2012)

I think you're making a joke that's going way over my head.

eazyd2 (December 20, 2012)

fuck off and die troll cunt

Skibz777 (December 20, 2012)

I'm actually seriously looking forward to your own Top 10 list. You, kira, Brandon and aubin.

Blackjaw_ (December 20, 2012)

lol that's not that guy

paulsilence (December 20, 2012)

I wonder if Evan Weiss already feels lukewarm towards his picks.

karliscool (December 20, 2012)

what does this mean?

imadeanaccountjustforthis (December 20, 2012)

Well, he was pretty into it before, but maybe he's over it now.

karliscool (December 20, 2012)

I feel dumb now for not getting that.

Yinzer (December 20, 2012)

^thats some funny shit!

jeffw (December 20, 2012)

Finally someone remembered John K Samson's album came out this year (in January).

cheesetits (December 20, 2012)

It's seriously great too

imadeanaccountjustforthis (December 20, 2012)

Or maybe no one until now cared about it? I'm not huge on him.

madapril (December 20, 2012)

Surprised that Screaming Females record hasn't made anyone's list yet. Steve Albini is gonna hurt somebody.

imadeanaccountjustforthis (December 20, 2012)

I can't believe a new Tallest Man on Earth record came out right under my fuckin' nose. I didn't hear anything about it all year long. Fuck.

inspection12e (December 20, 2012)

It's because it wasn't as good as the last one.

Shithawk (December 21, 2012)

It was pretty rad.

schaumpton (December 21, 2012)

#11 is going to be a little higher on mine, but great choice nonetheless.

NattyBoh (December 21, 2012)

Down By Law made your list. Awesome.

jimmynorville (December 20, 2012)

Why did you use the picture of the guy from Luther for the guy from Into It Over It?

renaldo69 (December 20, 2012)

cool list bro.

inspection12e (December 20, 2012)

The problem with punknews is I don't know any of the current posters demeanor because I rarely read and post anymore. This leads me to not knowing if someone is serious or if I'm being trolled. If you're serious thanks.

jimmynorville (December 20, 2012)

classic Renaldo

inspection12e (December 20, 2012)

rateyourmusic.com/list/inspection12e/favorite_albums_2012

Skibz777 (December 20, 2012)

I approve, and no sarcasms. It's closer to my own PunkNews list than most others I've read thus far. Now I have a few extra albums to add to my queue.

karliscool (December 20, 2012)

Listening to Glocca Morra for the first time. I love when a band immediately clicks with me like this. Very Kinsella-esque. I'm liking it a lot, you have good taste.

inspection12e (December 20, 2012)

Thanks man. It's a really great record and they are really good live.

bongripsman563 (December 20, 2012)

Isn't that Nick from Luther?

ReelBigMike (December 20, 2012)

angryderek (December 20, 2012)

i was 100% wrong about Lisa Garlic, THIS is the 100% FUCKING CORNIEST list i've ever seen. it's like a "punk news tells me exactly what to like" top 10. wow, you're what's wrong with "punk" music

Skibz777 (December 20, 2012)

To be fair, three of those albums are really good.

inspection12e (December 20, 2012)

Cheap Girls, Title Fight and??

Skibz777 (December 20, 2012)

Ooh, you're two for three. I'll leave the third to your imaginimination, though I'm sure we'll disagree on it.

karliscool (December 20, 2012)

Japandroids, but not Cheap Girls.

Skibz777 (December 21, 2012)

Respectfully disagree. 'Celebration Rock' just felt like more of the same from the last record (right down to the album cover), and while that's technically just as much good as it is bad, 'Giant Orange' was a really great record and a big step forward for CG.

karliscool (December 21, 2012)

I actually never bothered to listen to Japandroids until I saw the review of Celebration Rock on Pitchfork. Having nothing to compare it to probably made me like the album more.

ReelBigMike (December 21, 2012)

sketchyjoe (December 20, 2012)

Smart Cops are fucking amazing and I'm glad to see them get any mention on this site though I'm pretty sure that album came out in 2011.

ak3punk (December 21, 2012)

Solid list by the Pete. He's got half of my year end list on there.

ramblinboyofpleasure (December 22, 2012)

Any of your own top 10, 20s or 30s depending on how muh you think we care, would be greatly appreiated. We're all dying to know!

iconoclast (December 23, 2012)

no propagandhi? their tastes suck.
