UK Mojo Pretender UNCUT's Top 10 Albums of 2012

The UK rock mag Uncut is to Mojo what Sounds was to NME, a sort of stroppier kid brother encrusted in the same strange ways.  A kinda reaction to the 21st century by pretending it never happened. And this is certainly borne out by this bizarre list of weirdness.  

I don't know who Bill Fay is, they overestimate Ty and Grizzly Bear and Frank Ocean… well, I'll leave him for another post, but besides Jack White I have no idea what they are talking about. Psychedelic Pill is better than Wrecking Ball and Cohen's late career move is better than both? I don't see it myself.

10 Bruce Springsteen – Wrecking Ball
09 Neil Young & Crazy Horse – Psychedelic Pill
08 Grizzly Bear – Shields
07 Ty Segall & White Fence – Hair
06 Bill Fay – Life is People
05 Frank Ocean – Channel Orange
04 Dr John – Locked Down
