Tiki Ten: Best Albums of 2012

Twenty Twelve brought us some great music. So many great new bands and new albums from some of our favs. To recap the year, Berg and Sean sat down for a Tiki Talks about their Top 5 picks. We then took a song from each album that showcased the sound of the band and put them into this great playlist. We hope you enjoyed your 2012 musical experience as much as we did, and look forward to all the great sounds that 2013 brings. Happy New Year everyone!

Tiki Talks: Best Albums of 2012

TIKI TALKS IS BACK!!! Berg and Sean sit down and discuss the best albums (in their opinion) of 2012. Without Lance or any other member of Taco Tiki Tuesday there to derail them, we actually had an unabashed, insightful, and only slightly humorous discussion about music. There were a lot of good albums out this year, and it was hard to pick just ten, so we discussed a few runners up. But in the end, it came down to just ten, so listen to tomorrow’s Tiki Ten to hear a sampling from our picks.

Please comment below and let us know your picks for Album of the Year.
