The Suburbs - Arcade fire
Swim - Caribou.

Enough for now!

I never thought I would buy a album with rap in it but

Plan B- the defimation of stricklands banks

Northern soul and rap unbelevable combination

Defeats the purpose of this thread, as a lot of these were not released these year, but I've only come across them in 2010. They are all good though!

The Antlers - Hospice
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
The Twilight Sad - Fourteen Autumns And Fifteen Winters
Radical Face - Ghost
Frightened Rabbit - Fast Blood

The Ladykiller - Cee Lo Green

That man has an amazing voice, and I can't remember the last time I heard an album with so little filler. Every track is a belter.

Vampire Weekend - Contra
LCD Soundsystem - can't remember title

Those two are my faves, and both have grown on me after being a bit underwhelming initially.

Arcade Fire still unwrapped downstairs, looking forward to hearing it but have to let wife open it really as it was her Xmas gift.

Couple more mentioned above I need to check out as well.

If you lived with the music that Kate Walsh has covered on Peppermint Radio then just buy it - you will not be disapointed.

Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was the best album I heard last year. Incredible, and very different.

Liked Giggs' album, and Apollo Kids by Ghostface Killah was very good as well.

[i]best music to ride to[/i]

Wonder how many people missed that? I f they didn't, some of the above obviously ride in a rather fey way 🙂

For me that has to be [b]The Glitch Mob - Drink the Sea[/b]. Whether it was actually the best album of the year, I can't decide.
