Well the end of 2012 is drawing to a close and we've run down the albums that got the most play around RSTB this year. To avoid the list just being a mass of Ty Segall albums, Twins (a personal fave of the bunch) takes the place on the list but the other two would have just as easily made the list, especially the collab with White Fence which got plenty of play around here as well. Some really great releases this year and a banner year for both Drag City and Sacred Bones with some heavy inclusions in our list. Here are our picks for the best albums of 2012. Feel free to shout out your favorites in the comments. Check out the full list after the jump below.
