>>1. The Hold Steady/Boys & Girls In America - I listened to this disc
>>more than any other this year. A huge leap from Separation Sunday.
>>2. Butch Walker & The LGOT - Fun and inspired glam rock from a great
>>lyricist and an amazing performer.
>>3. My Chemical Romance/The Black Parade - The best 70's concept record
>>since, well, the 70's.
>>4. The Strokes/First Impressions of Earth - This disc is filled with
>>great songs and performances. Nick Valensi and Albert Hammod Jr. make a
>>play for guitar-god status on this one.
>>5. Gnarls Barkley/St. Elsewhere - Danger Mouse's talents seem limitless.
>>This disc hits on rock, old-school soul, hip-hop, pop, and on and on.
>>6. Damone/Out Here All Night - Crunchy pop-metal from Boston. Like it's
>>1989 all over again.
>>7. Jon Auer/Songs From The Year Of Our Demise - My favorite post-Posies
>>release.
>>9. Neko Case/Fox Confessor Brings The Flood - No other singer like her
>>in the genre. Fantastic vocalist and she can bring the tunes, too.
>>9. The Format/Dog Problems - Great power-pop record and a nice F-U to
>>Atlantic for dropping them.
>>10. Sloan/Never Hear the End of It - The full songs contained within are
>>among the best Sloan has ever recorded.
>>
>>11. Orson/Bright Idea
>>12. Roger Joseph Manning Jr./Land Of Pure Imagination
>>13. Damien Rice/9
>>14. Cheap Trick/Rockford
>>15. Roots/Game Theory
>>16. Yeah Yeah Yeahs/Show Your Bones
>>17. Red Hot Chili Peppers/Stadium Arcadium
>>18. Flaming Lips/At War With The Mystics
>>19. Wolfmother/Wolfmother
>>20. Rhett Miller/The Believer
