The Top Ten Albums By The Guy Who Made the Top Album of 2011

It is my duty as a pathetic creature of the Internet to spend a December Saturday afternoon typing a meaningless top ten list. Since Destroyer’s Kaputt, like every Destroyer album, was the best album of the year — although I no longer listen to 100 new albums a year like I did as an even more pathetic person in college, so maybe I missed some things, but probably not — this is the meaningless top ten list I’m running with. And yes, I copped out with a tie for second, but this is just a tumblr post so who cares?

Top Ten Destroyer Albums:

1) Streethawk: A Seduction (2001)

2t) Thief (2000)

2t) City of Daughters (1998)

4) This Night (2002)

5) Kaputt (2011)

6) Collection of Dan Bejar’s 10-12 best songs for the New Pornographers (2000-)

7) Rubies (2006)

8) Your Blues (2004)

9) We’ll Build Them a Golden Bridge (1996)

10) Trouble in Dreams (2008)

What? Stop making fun! Just be happy I went with this instead of the Top 50 Destroyer Songs.
