Best of 2012: Canadian Albums #50-41

Posted by on December 21, 2012 No comments


Since everyone is doing their “Best of” list.
So here is my list for Canadian albums that came out in 2012.
Starting from #50 to #41.
I had to say this year was pretty hard finding what were *in my opinion* the best albums to come out in Canada.
As I will say this, just be happy you made it on the list.
If there were some missing ones I will probably put them on honorable mentions.
For the Top 12 Canadian albums, it will be broadcast on my radio show in New Year’s Eve.
Sorry if there is no description since I am swamped with various stuff happening in the month of December.
Check it out!
