The Sadies- Northern Passages
Aimee Mann- Mental Illness
Matt Mays- Once Upon a Hell of a Time
Mark Lanegan Band- Gargoyle
The National- Sleep Well Beast
Headstones- Little Army
Queens of the Stone Age- Villains
Steve Earle & the Dukes- So You Wanna Be An Outlaw
Honorable mentions:
Skydiggers- Warmth of the Sun
Kate Fenner- Middle Voice
Ryan Adams- Prisoner
Feist- Pleasure
The War on Drugs- A Deeper Understanding
Lowest of the Low- Do the Right Now
Greg Graffin- Millport
