11 :: snowden - anti-anti
- I had to get a local band in here, snowden gets the nod over dbt, maserati, and mastodon
10 :: girl talk - night ripper
- so illegal yet so catchy, great mashup of many different songs [current and classic], pop music for ADD kids
9 :: the spinto band - nice and nicely done
- about as fun as music gets
8 :: malajube - trompe-l'oeil
- good enough to tide us over until 'neon bible', bonus points for being entirely in french
7 :: lupe fiasco - food & liquor
- kanye west's protege, 'the game theory' was good too
6.5 :: voxtrot - mothers, sisters, daughters & wives [it's only an ep]
- indie pop at it's finest, now if they'll just release a full length
6 :: we are scientists - with love and squalor
- even better than the spinto band, i hate the roxy
5 :: peter bjorn & john - writer's block
- just heard about these guys, it just keeps getting better
4 :: joanna newsom - ys
- amazingly intricate/beautiful/epic, so much better than her very good first album
3 :: destroyer - destroyer's rubies
- I think that pretty much anyone who is a part of the new pornographers is a genius, dan bejar might somehow be the best
2 :: tv on the radio - return to cookie mountain
- if you don't get it, keep listening...
1 :: the hold steady - boys and girls in america
- perfect musicianship, funny/true/nostalgic lyrics about growing up partying, and one of the best live shows around, picking a number one album was too easy
There are easily twenty other albums that deserve a mention, but that would be weak. I think that I can live w/ these eleven.five
