My list shares a lot in common with a few (TheCunningStunt for example):
1. Arcade Fire - Suburbs
2. The National - High Violet
3. Sun Kil Moon - Admiral Fell Promises
4. Junip - Fields
5. How to Dress Well - Love Remains
6. The Tallest Man on Earth - The Wild Hunt
7. Sufjan Stevens - Age of Adz
8. Black Keys - Brothers
9. Perfume Genius - Learning
10. Sleigh Bells - Treats
Suburbs was amazing the first time I listened to it, and it continues to be. Neither a grower nor a fader. I listened to High Violet damn near constantly for a month when it came out. Admiral continues to be one of my favourite study/work albums.
I can already tell James Blake will be in and likely near the top of my 2011 list.
