That would be on my Top 5 list for sure.

Along with "When Life Gives You Lemons..." by Atmosphere and "11th Hour" - Del tha Funkee Homosapien.

Other than that, I'm really not sure. Not a whole lot has caught my ear this year.

Doesn't hurt that Sharin Foo is easy on the eyes:

Beck - Modern Guilt

[kermitology]

A friend suggested TV on the Radio to me this weekend. He lent me Return from Cookie Mountain, but I just checked out Dear Science.. Holy moly is that is a great album.

TVOTR - Family Tree - Prettiest song of the year


Fleet Foxes - He Doesn't Know Why


Raveonettes - Dead Sound


Destroyer - Dark Leaves Form A Thread

Cookie mountain wasn't great besides the unbelievable single. The newer album is a marked improvement.

[Knut]

Plants and Animals is my favorite album of the year .

The new WolfParade is excellent as well.

[icecube]

I liked GNR, Chinese Democracy and Moby, last night. Just off the top of my head

Vampire Weekend - M79


Sigur Ros - Gobbledi


Flight Of The Conchords - Bowie


R.E.M. - Supernatural Superserious

I really enjoyed Dig Out Your Soul by Oasis, as well as Viva La Vida by Coldplay. Also, Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings was really good. And of course Plants and Animals' Parc Avenue was just stellar.

Bob Mould - Stupid Now


Constantines - Our Age


Dodos - Red And Purple

[chid]

Sigur Ros' album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust is at the top of my list. They put on an amazing concert in early October as well.
