    :D !



    Kings of Leon - Because of the Times.. every song is good or great and the band just exceeded every expectation.

    Radiohead - In Rainbows.. another solid release...

    The new Acid Mothers Temple record is great, but I still need to hear the new Afrirampo.
    Come on pilgrim you know he loves you..

    i think it came out last year but i only got it this year :o


    Midlake - Trials of Van Occupanther
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    it's top 5 but Ike Reilly's "We Belong to the Staggering Evening" is one of the best of the decade

    Lots of other threads on this, but again, Arcade Fire's Neon Bible, and there isn't a close second.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    i've been saying:

    modest mouse- we were dead before the ship even sank

    but i'm not so sure anymore. it's got stiff competition from the arctic monkeys, bright eyes, silverchair, polyphonic spree, and kanye west.

    Wintersleep- Welcome to the Night Sky
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits

    this album is hands down, no doubt, don't need to even think about it the album of the year.

    as for the rest of my top 5, top 10, top 20, etc...i'll have to think about that and wait until the year actually ends.

    I'm starting to feel like a broken record, but . . .

    The National - Boxer
  • BenzorBenzor Posts: 886
    In Rainbows by a mile at number 1. Amazing album. After that I would say Young Modern (Silverchair), Snakes and Arrows (Rush), Zeitgeist (Pumpkins), Because of the Times (Kings of Leon, Neon Bible (Arcade Fire) in no order.

    sky blue sky - wilco
    because of the times - kings of leon

    honorable mentions:

    Other bands albums I have enjoyed this year after Arcade Fire and QOTSA are:

    Soulsavers ft Mark Lanegan
    Eddie Vedder
    Foo Fighters
    Kings of Leon
    Nine Inch Nails
    Smashing Pumpkins
    Nine Black alps
    Radiohead
    Arctic Monkeys.

    I also discovered TV on the Radio, Nouvelle Vague, Babar Luck's album which he released last year and is awesome, amongst others good stuff.

    Need to check out the new Dinosaur Jr cd and dvd, I'm sure I'll love them.:)

    era vulgaris - QOTSA
    because of the times - KoL

    im also currently being totally absorbed by the mess hall's sophmoric venture devils elbow. one of my fave live bands. their first album kinda disappointed me, it didnt seem to capture their live vibe, but this one is such a step up. tis a fuller, more mature sound from them. i am beyond thrilled with it. :)
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say
