Top 76 Music Albums of 2012

Having fun with genres. Something I don't take seriously but can be useful at times. Genres are mainly from RYM, but at times I have had to be a bit loose or make up my own for variety and to avoid repetition.
By "best" I mean "subjectively my favourite from what I have listened to" but best is quicker and easier to type.
