I know it is a bit early to publish a list of the best albums of this year, because there is still over a month to go before 2013. I still think it's best to get this blog started and the list contains some really good albums already. I had to leave out some good ones too. This will happen many times during this blog. Ten albums a year is far too few to give credit to all the good ones. Some of these albums may end up in a different order when the time goes by. It's always hard to make a list of new albums, 'cause there hasn't been enough time to really see which tunes will last the passing of time. But enough chit-chat. Let me begin.

Introduction
It's been a while since we last wrote any posts in our previous music blog Kersantti Pippuri. One of the reasons is a lack of a proper theme. Originally we started music blogging with a project to list our all time top 100 albums. The list is now a bit outdated on my part but I still don't see a reason to do that again. Also, I want to write in English this time for the enjoyment of my many newly found friends in London and all over the world.
Now that the year 2012 is coming to an end, I started to look back the albums of this year. I love making lists of great music and I knew I was going to make some sort of list about the best albums of this year. This brought me an idea to display top 10 lists of each year. I can probably go as far in the past as the 60's. Before that it would be sort of hard to find 10 really good albums from each year. I will start with the top 10 of this year and go chronologically down presenting a top 10 list of each year. There have been some really good albums throughout the history of pop music and I want to honour those albums. Hopefully I can introduce some bands for new listeners and make some readers go back in time and feel the nostalgia!
I'm not claiming that I can make objective lists, but I'm counting on how I feel. I don't care how popular these albums have been, how good their sales rates were or what critics said. I'm rating the albums according to my taste. I'm going to write a little description of each album that I introduce and hoppefully fit in some interesting trivia as well. I also try to find some sort of link to listen to the album. The easiest way is to make link to Spotify or Sound Cloud, but since it is not possible with all the albums you might have to do some searching yourselves if you want to listen to all of these.
I hope you enjoy this journey in to the history of great music!
