Ok, now that more people have posted long lists, I don’t feel so bad about mine ;)
Arcade Fire – Funeral
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti – Before Today
At The Drive-In – Relationship of Command (also their EPs Vaya and In/Casino/Out)
Kae Tempest – Let Them Eat Chaos
Mercury Rev – Deserter's Songs
My Morning Jacket – Z
Public Service Broadcasting – Every Valley
Radiohead – OK Computer
Radiohead – In Rainbows
The Decemberists – Picaresque
The Diggs – Commute
The Dismemberment Plan – Emergency & I
The Libertines – s/t
The Mars Volta – Deloused in the Comatorium
The Notwist – Shrink
Tokyo Police Club – A Lesson in Crime (just a fantastic debut; barely an album though)
German:
Deichkind – Niveau Weshalb Warum
Some may be an acquired taste (PSB?, also I know that The Libertines’ is not everyone’s favorite – but it’s mine :). The Arcade Fire, even though I don’t listen to them these days that much, is decade-defining for me, as is Radiohead’s OK Computer (together with Nevermind, although for some reason it didn’t make this list).
Just been reviewed with the highest rating of “4x Hit” by RadioEins music critics this fifth release of L.A. duo Knower (Louis Cole & Genevieve Artadi) features “High-Performance-Avantgarde-Jazz-Funk”.
