Good to see all these nominations though - I'll definitely have to check a few of them out in future
Might as well officially nominate 5 now or I'll never get 'round to it. In no order;

Nick Cave - Dig, Lazarus, Lazaruss
Mercury Rev - Snowflake Midnight
The Week That Was - The Week That Was
Emmylou Harris - All I Intended To Be
Elvis Costello - Momofuku

I think I'll round out my list with Crystal Antler's EP. It's really great, somewhat Mars Volta esque, but with less prog and latin influences.

Modern Guilt was a major letdown.

I'm in agreement with Nick Cave, Cut Copy, and The Cure. The Cure in particular because I'm glad that they came out with a smooth-flowing CD to eradicate their prior effort which I wasn't too thrilled with.

Others in the mix (apologies if these were mentioned before)

Portishead - Third
Muse - Haaarp
Sigur Rós - Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
The Mars Volta - The Bedlam in Goliath
Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard - Soundtrack to the movie "The Dark Knight"
The Fall - Imperial Wax Solvent
Aimee Mann - @#%&*! Smilers

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.

No offense Jay, but I really hated the new Black Keys album.
