12 great albums of 2012 that nobody listened to
If these aren't on your playlists already - they should be. Overlooked classics from the past year
- Walk The Moon - Walk The Moon: This is the album One Direction dream of making - WAIT, COME BACK. Walk The Moon proved themselves absolute masters of guitar pop with their 2012 debut, packing in huge radio-friendly riffs with racous guitars reminiscent of Foals after raiding their nan's cupboard for valium. The stunning sounds of singles 'Anna Sun' and 'Next In Line' were laced with hooks that 1D could only dream of - but without the pull of Harry Styles hair, failed to give this US four-piece the chart success they so richly deserved.

There are usually one or two albums a year that you absolutely adore, but for some infuriating reason just don't get the recognition they deserve.
You spend weeks listening intensely to some great records that it seems just no one else is listening to. It's a sad fact that all too often great albums do slip through the net in an age when it's so hard to fight against The X Factor culture and the increasing number of acts who put out talentless blobs of garbarge get into the top of the charts. Not naming any names, of course...
So this list is our homage to the brilliant albums that have had some of us enthralled, but have eluded so many this year.
Take a look through our gallery and see if you find any forgotten favourites.
