    C’mon is the Duluth band’s best since “Things We Lost In The Fire”, the album I listened to most in 2012 and a thoroughly deserving record the year. I feel like I should note that the Low album was at number two until I realised that the only reason I had the Abigail Washburn record on top (as good as it is) was due to her relative obscurity.
    \nOne other point – the list was going to be a top 20 until I decided that as a loyal R.E.M. fan for twenty years their final release really should be on here somewhere, even if there is only one track on Collapse Into Now that I really like.
    \nYou can find 18 of the these on this Spotify playlist<\/a> unfortunately the Gillian Welch, Mountain Goats and Bill Callahan records aren’t available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
