When I was thinking of which albums would be on this list a few qualifications came to my mind. Which albums did I enjoy when I first listened to them, which did I still like after a period of time, and which will I most likely continue to like in the future?
Using that criteria I came up with both my Honorable Mentions list and the following albums for my top 5. And yes, they are in order leading up to my favorite album of 2012. I'm very satisfied with how this ended up and I am content with my selections.
