Astor Piazzolla - Tango: Zero Hour > Fela Kuti - Expensive Shit
Nils Frahm - Spaces > The Magnetic Fields - 50 Song Memoir
I enjoy all four albums in the semi, but the two I've voted for are both something special.

After the winners and finalists of the last few years we really don't have any actual pop favorites this year. Even the song-based 50 Song Memoir is a bit unusual. I approve.

Fela Kuti - Expensive Shit
The Magnetic Fields - 50 Song Memoir
All really good albums. I'm probably in the huge minority for preferring "50 Song Memoir" to "69 Love Songs," but I find it to be more consistent and the scope even more impressive.
