toss-up between elbow seldom seen, Editors In this light and on this evening and Metric: Fantasies.
Really enjoying Editors at the moment though.

brendon benson, my old familiar friend
but rediscovered Bowies Hunky Dory....
Massive Agressive by Municipal Waste. Fast...? oh lordy yes!
(may not suit listeners of a quiet disposition)
**** Buttons ; Tarot sport. 😀
da funk
Jamie T - kings & queens.
Pearl Jam's Backspacer.
The Felice Brothers' Yonder Is The Clock is great too. Quite enjoyed the Fever Ray record and the Friendly Fires album was a bit of a grower, though I still think it's a bit uneven.
Been listening to ace old records from The Decemberists and The Smiths lately too.
Some good ideas there, keep em coming.

the new flaming lips album (embryonic) is sounding pretty special so far...
"The Art of Five" - Billy Cobham.
The Killers - Day & Age

Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown
La Roux - La Roux
sahara hotnights - what if leaving is a loving thing?
Shiny toy guns - we are pilots
The sounds - dying to say this to you
Elbow - Seldom Seen Kid
His vocals are superb, saw them live at Sheffield supporting U2 (also great album - No Line On The Horizon) and they were brilliant. Cracking album and well recommended.
Alice in Chains: Black Gives Way to Blue
Shrinebuilder
Burnt by the Sun: Heart of Darkness (again, not for the faint-hearted)
Wolfmother - Cosmic Egg
Best Album by far that I've heard this year, never mind 6 months.
Off to see them at Leeds Academy early next year too! 😀
Wild Beasts - Two Dancers.
Black Sabbath - Volume 4
Pearl Jam - Backspacer
Wilco - Wilco
Bruce Springsteen - Working on a dream
I quite like the Florence and the Machine album Lungs, oh and Colbie Caillat Breakthrough....
La Roux for me.
Streetsweeper Social Club (eponymous)
The Cribs - Ignore the Ignorant
Kings of leon - Only by the night (best album ever)
Kings of leon - Because of the times...
Bought an oldie again: The Cure - Pornography

EXELLENT!
Same as a few others ^^
Kings of leon - Only by the night.
Florence and the Machine - Lungs.
V V Brown - Travelling By The Light.
Jamie T - Kings & Queens.
The Cribs - Ignore The Ignorant.
Friendly Fires - Friendly Fires

two dancers by wildbeasts

I don't think i've bought a real stand out (New) album yet this year. I did really like the Cribs first 3, but i just am not getting it with 'Ignore the Ignorant'. I've been listening to Creedence Clearwater (I only really knew their famous stuff before now) and Dylan more than owt else really.
west ryder pauper lunatic asylum- kasabian dunno how they keep getting better but they just do!
nerina pallot- graduate
Best recent purchases:
Ian Brown - Golden Greats
Mezzanine Owls - Slingshot Echoes
Eels - Hombre Lobo
Doves - Kingdom of Rust
As above-Kasabians latest..
+1 Massive Agressive! Love that album - such an experience live...
But Crack The Skye by Mastodon is my album of the year so far. Properly epic.
Maccabbees - Wall of Arms. Quality.
Some good choices so far but I would add.
The Rifles - Great Escape
12 Dirty Bullets - Downside of making a living
Metallica - Death Magnetic (okay a little older, but sooo good)
Florence and the machine - Lungs
Joshua Radin - Simple times
Shinedown - The sound of madness
That should do it but just put on the new pearl jam album and that rocks a tad 😛
There's several on here I would go with, although I've had them for more than six months; Flo and The Machine, Elbow, Doves, to those I'd add an album that I recently got hold of, having mislaid my original from '92, and that's Dark Star, Twenty Twenty Sound. Saw them a number of times, incredible band, very very loud, the drummer honestly could knock you breathless if you stood in front of him; used to use maraccas on the floor toms to get a 'bigger' sound! I'd add School of Seven Bells, Shearwater, Mumford And Sons (love these three), Cerys Matthews new one Don't Look Down, and several that have been around for a bit, Howling Bells' Radio Wars, The Low Anthem's Oh My God, Charly Darwin, Soul Savers' Broken, oh, and the Duckworth Lewis Method, and Inga Thomson's Shipwreck And Static. The Metric album mentioned above is very good, too, saw them touring it earlier this year; fabulous gig. Check out their earlier stuff.
Pearl Jam - Backspacer
-1 La Roux. Squeeky sub retro 80's synth twaddle.
Bianchi Boy do yourself a favour, get on Spotify and listen to some of the stuff you've just been recommended before you spend any of your hard earned on it.
The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die
Mavado - A Better Tomorrow
matt schofield - heads,tails and aces.
Back door Slam - coming up for air
Eureka Machines - Do Or Die
Half Man Half Biscuit - Achtung Bono
Bon Iver- For Emma, Forever Ago
Gaslight Anthem- The '59 Sound
any of Michale Buble's albums are fantastic and definatly my favourite. But you have to enjoy the Frank Sinatra style of music to like him 
"But Crack The Skye by Mastodon is my album of the year so far. Properly epic"
when i read that, i thought i would search on youtube. it sounded like it would be worth looking into. wrong! wrong for me,but you love it.. and thats fine. not that its bad.. it just shows that these threads are useless as theres a huge variety in music tastes. some folk mentioned stuff that i will enjoy but theres also stuff that makes me cringe.stuff like la roux,daniel merriweather and michael flippin buble?
we need to put a genre after whatever we type to keep things simple and worthwhile!
Sigur Ros - (_) - ok its old but new to me this year...track 8 is amazing and even more so on the Heima DVD live! Who would have thought that four Icelandic blokes could generate enough noise to make Motorhead think twice!
Explosions in the Sky - The earth is not a cold dead place - a beautiful instrumental album
At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul re-issue. late 90's Gothenberg sound death metal! Raaarrr!
