Top 50 Music Albums of 2012 by Applerill

This year has been wonderful for pop,
Metal, jazz, and especially hip hop.
Every one of these records I really like,
At least there's a bit of psyche.

I gave 5 stars to the whole top eight,
I guess it's like Myspace, but actually great.

Many of the albums are free for download legally,
Copy-paste the link, and get it if you please.

Now, to tell you what from this year you should never, ever shelve,
I present to you the top 40 albums of 2012.

I'm Not a Hipster.
...Wait, maybe I am.
But This is a Fun Indie Record.
On With My Spam.

It borrows from Zeppelin,
WHAT'S THAT?!?!?1?!?
Yes, you silly rockist,
And with the drop of a hat,
Get this album now if you have good taste in music,
When you have good taste otherwise, you better really use it.

My Friend Caleb Harris Made This.
It is the Greatest Pop-Punk Album Ever.

And Great Nostalgia Appeal.
