My top 4:
Springsteen - Magic, I'm just glad to see him back with the E Street Band.
Plant/Krauss - Raising Sand, get your best girl,turn the lights low, a couple glasses of wine and get laid.
The Cult - Birn Into This, a band not afraid to let it rock.
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible, the album of the year.

in rainbows by radiohead, and neon bible by arcade fire. i'd be hard pressed to find two more enjoyable albums as consistent from start to finish as these.
2003 Mansfield III 2004 Boston I 2006 Boston I 2008 Bonnaroo, Hartford, Mansfield I 2010 Hartford 2013 Worcester I, Worcester II, Hartford 2016 Bonnaroo, Fenway I, Fenway II 2018 Fenway I, Fenway II 2021 Sea.Hear.Now 2022 Camden 2024 MSG I, Fenway I, Fenway II
We are all biased by what we like and listen to I'm sure.
I am torn between Magic, Year Zero, and The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust. I just can't choose between these. I see In Rainbows got quite a few nods - I've heard parts of it - sounds good, but not really my type of sound.

R.i.p. My Dad - May 28, 2007
R.i.p. Black Tail (cat) - Sept. 20, 2008
when considering that funeral is better, i am hard-pressed to think that neon bible is the best record this year...
For me, Neon Bible is the better album. I see it as Funeral is to Ten what Neon Bible is to Yield. And even if you think of Funeral as the better album, that doesn't stop Neon Bible from being the best album of the year.
It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
It's a close match between Magic and Neon Bible for me. It's tough, but I'll have to give the edge to Neon Bible simply because it says more than Magic does (Girls in Their Summer Clothes? Come on man!).
It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win
Comments
This is a closesecond in my book, but Dinosaiur JR's album kicks everything else to the kerb, in my opinion - I especially love 'It's me'.

Been there, done that.
If you've seriously just discovered Bowie, then 'Hunky Dory' has always been my favourite.
Band of Horses - Cease to Begin
Just tried downloading it, but can't find it.
