what are some favorites? i think it's been a pretty good year so far. i've been digging these the most...it could be a tough year to narrow down a top ten by the end of it. still really looking foward to wilco and noel gallagher.

bright eyes - the people's key
the antlers - burst apart
my morning jacket - circuital
thurston moore - demolished thoughts
raphael saadiq - stone rollin'
bill callahan - apocalypse
gillian welch - the harrow and the harvest
nostalgia 77 - sleepwalking society
bon iver - bon iver
foo fighters - wasting light
pj harvey - let england shake

    +1 here.
    I also enjoy Adele's and I've really been digging the Tedeschi-Trucks Band's Revelator lately.

    It seems like I'm failing to mention something, but nothing has caught and kept my interest anywhere near the level of Wasting Light.
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    TVOTR - 9 Types of Light - was spectacular live, but I'm a little let down by the studio version since I heard the songs live before it came out

    Good call. I was blown away by her voice. Normally it takes a lot to stray away from my rock albums, but I definitely enjoy 21 from start to finish. Even burned a copy for my mom.
