List time, for ’tis the season! We don’t claim to be all-knowing music journalists here at TNC – we just write about the things that move us, and that hopefully move you as well. So what we’ve done is simple: put together the 12 albums from the past year that we dug the most, along with a couple of honorable mentions. These are the albums that got us through what was one of the best years for new music of all varieties in a long time, in one piece. This is our opportunity to take stock of the year that was, to get some perspective, and to thank you for sticking with us through it all. Hope to see more of you in the weeks, months, and hopefully years to come. Without further adieu, click on after the jump for our list, in no particular order, of our favorite albums of the year. And if you like it, share it! If not, tell us why in the comments or on Facebook or Twitter. We’d love to hear your thoughts, as always.

Big Boi and Little Dragon stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to perform “Mama Told Me,” the track they wrote together for the Outkast stalwart’s upcoming solo realease, Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors. Word is that Little Dragon’s former label created logistical problems that stopped this version of the song from making the album, prompting the indefatigable Daddy Fat Sax to re-record it with Kelly Rowland on vocals in order to release it. No diss to Ms. Rowland, but after watching this live performance, there is no question that Yukimi Nagano was supposed to sing this hook. See for yourself above, and listen to the recently leaked studio version of the original Big Boi/Little Dragon collaboration below. Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors comes out December 11th. Cop it when it drops.

Alicia Keys‘ “Girl on Fire” is a lovely contemporary R&B album. A good mix of soft crooning, hard hitting 4 on the floors, and, of course, some baby makin’ love jams, with more than a handful of run-that-back moments. She’s got a long list of friends on “Girl on Fire” that help make it that way: Frank Ocean, Maxwell, Swizz Beats, Dr. Dre, Salaam Remi… even Jamie XX leaves his mark. Hit the jump to listen to the whole album for free whenever you’d like. Yeah, we did that for you kids.
