Um hello, lists of 2012 favourites?   Stu, perhaps you'd like to show a little leadership here?

Let me give you a teaser:

(1) Damien Jurado

(2) Beachwood Sparks

(3) Woods

Obviously a teaser should start at the bottom of the list and work it's way up.  But I've never been good at teasers. And besides, I have to decide what my next seven are.
