What are your albums of the year?

James Blake
James Blake - is his debut one of your albums of the year?

December is nearly upon us, bringing the inevitable blizzard of best-album-of-the-year lists. The Guardian will of course be participating; as you read this, an army of spreadsheet-botherers are drawing together a list of the top 50 albums of 2011, based on votes from our music writers.

But what do you think they should include? What 2011 releases have you played over and over again? If you were to be cast away on a desert island with no entertainment apart records released since January 1st 2011 (and don't discount the possibility), which ones would make your list?

If you need to refresh your memory of what's been out in the last twelve months, you can take a look back through all of our albums reviews. Or, as a small refresher, here's a few of the more high-profile albums that our writers have rated highly.
