Oddly I would agree with most of this list...even though I hate music critics...maybe the Hole is greater than than the Some.

Lost And Safe by The Books is not so great...quirky noises ... somewhat annoying...

They forgot: White Stripes --Get Behind Me Satan
Dungen-- Ta det lugnt
and some hiphop that has been discussed recently.

And of course the Tender & Vulnerable !!i!

All very good, although not in that order.

The list should also include:

The Mouse and the Mask by DangerDoom
You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having by Atmosphere
You Could Have It So Much Better by Franz Ferdinand
The Weight is a Gift by Nada Surf
Broken Social Scene by Broken Social Scene

Albums that are decent, although not best of the year material:

Weapons of Mass Destruction by Xzibit
In Between Dreams by Jack Johnson
The B.Coming by Beanie Siegel
Black Mountain by Black Mountain
Silent Alarm by Bloc Party
Guero by Beck
Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
The Documentary by The Game

Still lots of other albums I should grab to catch up. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Even though Lifted is better, I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning is pretty darn good too.

Illinois = 2nd best album of the 21st century.

What's the best?

(I'm not arguing with you, my Illinois jocking is apparent, I've never felt the way I do about any whole album like I did that one)

Never heard of Sufjan Stevens. 50 albums for 50 states? That is unbelievably ambitious and awesome. I love Dylan & Springsteen, so if his work is similar to that type of songwriting, I will check it out. Can anybody confirm?

Not so much. Well, I suppose it shares some narrative qualities, but the sound is not even close to either. You should check it out anyway.

I thought as much...I was mainly referring to the "storytelling" aspects of the lyrics. I will check out and post a TR.

My two favorite albums this year are

Ray Lamontagne - Trouble

and

Ben Taylor - Another Run around the Sun


But I haven't heard anything from that list so I am guessing I am not listing to right genres for the board. (Ben Taylor is James Taylor's son)
