    Zeitgeist by The Pumpkins is my favourite so far but I'm lookin forward to Jimmy Eat World's new one.
    I don't know if it came out this year or last year,but the Silversun Pickups album is great too.

    Nothing beats Dinosaur Jr's Beyond so far for me, and I can't think of anything else coming out this year that has much of a chance.

    Besides Dino, I really like Icky Thump, and the Superbad soundtrack (which I'm counting because most of it is new music recorded for the movie).

    Zeitgeist was good but not great, and I'm liking the new Ben Harper so far.

    well it's Ike Rielly by a mile with We Belong to the Staggering Evening nothing is fucking close, It's looking like it might join Mark Lanegan Bubblegum and Hold Steady's Seperation Sunday as the "Top Albums of the Decade". Otherwise Beyond is pretty fucking good, so is The Jason Isbell record, but nothing beats Ike and not much ever will.

    These are my favorites so far this year (in no particular order):

    !!! - Myth Takes
    M.I.A. - Kala
    Interpol - Our Love To Admire
    The Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
    The Good, The Bad, and The Queen
  • boroff89boroff89 Posts: 786
    Arcade Fire's "Neon Bible", and it isn't even close. In fact, I think I can safely call it my favorite album of the decade. I'd throw The Shins' "Wincing the Night Away" in second.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    2nd would probably be Rooney's new CD
