These albums are my favourites of the last 10 years for lots of different reasons...
They might not all be critically acclaimed but I love each one.
I could probably add another 20 to this list but..
I think I will say why I like each one on a weekly basis..
I have seen 26 out of the 30 bands concerned..
Starting with Anthony and the Johnsons :-D

  1. Have you heard Victoria Bergsman? She did the vocals on Peter, Bjorn, and John's Young Folks.

    Seems pretty good to me. :)

  2. What no Fuck Buttons?

    Agree with much of this.Interpol definitely right. Arcade Fire at numnber 2 with "Funeral". Burial "Untrue" would also be in there. Block Peurtaey certainly not.Atr Brut - you are thier only fan. Good call with that maps album too.

    Can't get past the smell of The Horrors first album..PUKE. has left a stink around Primary Colours.

    Look forward to a gig with you sooneer rather than later.
