The 50 Best Albums of 2012Spinner

It's that time of year again. After collectively listening to hundreds of records, the Spinner and AOL Music editors cast their votes on the 50 best albums of 2012. It's quite the mixed bag this year, with classic rockers, indie darlings, R&B rookies, electronica wizards, hip-hop heavies and more making the cut.

Take a look at our picks below, and if you have some opinions on them -- which we're sure you do -- feel free to let us know in the comments, on Facebook or Twitter.

Over at On Record, we shared a lot of the same favorite albums (especially the Japandroids and Frank Ocean). Head over to our site to read our top 20 with album synopses. It's been a great year for music.

The Idler Wheel is Fiona's masterpiece. A worthy number one. The rest of the list is hit and miss.
