Top 5 music of the year

[Flying_Monkey]

No restrictive rules here, just your best 5 musical experiences of this year: could be singles, albums, gigs, concerts... whatever floated your boat musically this year.

I haven't got to a lot of live events this year so my favourites are all albums:

1. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
2. Toumani Diabaté - The Mande Variations
3. James Yorkston - When the Haar Rolls In
4. Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
5. Mogwai - The Hawk is Howling

Oh, and also just working my way slowly through the complete works of the sublime Thomas Tallis...
