Bravo! I have to say that I agree with almost all of these albums. It’s been one heck of a year.

Since the guy in Once is the lead singer of The Frames and it’s his girlfriend in the movie as well. Plus, those are original The Frames songs, I think it should count. I watched it last night and was blown away.

As for Wilco, I thought it was terribly disappointing except for ‘Impossible Germany’.

I think one album i’m regretting about leaving off is the Once soundtrack. I wasn’t really sure at the time if it could count as one, but I think it should’ve been now that i’ve thought about it a lot more.

Yeah, the In Rainbows bonus disc is ace.

I need to return to Wilco’s disc one of these days… To be honest it didn’t grab me back when it came out, but they’re definitely a band I’ll give second (and third and fourth) chances…

As usual, great selections. Also, mad props to Radiohead’s bonus disc.

But did you forget that Wilco put out an amazing disc this year as well? Seriously…check. it. out.

Won-der-ful!

I’m loving the album list. I didn’t realize Radiohead was that good.

Thanks for the tunes, I needed some new ones.

regarding andy’s list (and ‘in rainbows’ in general): yes! i loved that feeling of listening to it late at night by yourself and knowing that thousands of people are doing the exact same thing. i loved the way they released it and it is a great album.

as for me:
1. okkervil river – the stage names
2. radiohead – in rainbows
3. the national – boxer
4. panda bear – person pitch
5. arcade fire – neon bible
6. spoon – ga ga ga ga ga
7. lcd soundsystem – sound of silver
8. of montreal – hissing fauna, are you the destroyer?
9. animal collective – strawberry jam
10. deerhunter – cryptograms

kind of a generic lineup. nothing too fancy. lots of good releases from well known bands in the indie circle. i absolutely loved okkervil river’s latest. i’m kind of surprised it didn’t top many other year end lists.

Of Montreal could’ve easily been my #1. Ask me next year and i’ll probably change my mind about it, as I see myself listening to it more than In Rainbows.
