Only 2008 album I really remember but it is amazing. Everything else is mainly earlier.

oh hell yeah.

The M's - Real Close Ones
Cloud Cult - Feel Good Ghosts (Tea-Partying Through Tornadoes)

Once you people have heard these albums they will be on your list.

In no order

Bon Iver- For Emma, Forever Ago
Deerhunter- Microcastle
M83- Saturdays=Youth
Marching Band- Spark Large
TV On The Radio- Dear Science

Fucked Up - The Chemisty Of Common Life
The Kills - Midnight Boom
Atmosphere - When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!
Portishead - Third

Could change at any point though, it's a close one.I suppose i should check out that Kayo Dot album as well?

Cloud Cult - Feel Good Ghosts
Death Cab for Cutie-Narrow Stairs
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
Crystal Castles - Alice Practice
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

Easily the best record this year. :D

Yes you should check out the Kayo Dot album-it's immense.

I've only got a handful of albums released this year, and the only ones that really impressed me are Nick Cave's 'Dig Lazarus Dig' (easily the pick of the year for me), Mercury Rev's 'Snowflake Midnight' and the self-titled effort from the Week That Was. Good to see all these nominations though - I'll definitely have to check a few of them out in future
