Nunn's Top Ten Albums of 2012

Here is my top ten favorite albums of 2012. Last years top ten was my most widely read piece on ChicagoPride thanks to artists retweeting it. I was lucky enough to meet many of these up and coming performers and interview them as well. There were tons of honorable mentions but these were the ones I listened to the most last year. Please check them out and let me know what you think!

10 Rumer/Boys Don't Cry

Unpredictable covers from the '70s

9 Tracey Thorn/Tinsel and Lights

A surprisingly good holiday album

8 Paloma Faith/Fall to Grace

Missing Amy Winehouse

7 Emeli Sande/Our Version of Events

British Beyonce

6 Scissor Sister/Magic Hour

"Let's Have a Kiki" soared along with several other tracks

5 Ellie Goulding/Halcyon

Electronic goodness and a sweet person to boot

4 Steve Aoki/Wonderland

Who can get Weezer frontman to rap on his debut album?

3 Marina and the Diamonds/Electra Heart

Replayed uncountable times this creative version of Katy Perry

2 Tanlines/Mixed Emotions

New wave indie percussive New Yorkers

1 Passion Pit/Gossamer

Falsetto frontman with unusual music

Look for several of this artists performing in the new year. Emeli, Ellie and Passion Pit will be live and in person in 2013!
