PappyTron Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Best album of 2012, for me, is Chinese Democracy.I know that it didn't technically come out in 2012 but it is simply an album that transcends such falsities such as calender years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
