Here they are:

1. Jolie Holland - Escondida
2. Jens Lekman - When I Said I Wanted to Be Your Dog
3. Camera Obscura - Underachievers Please Try Harder
4. Robyn Hitchcock - Spooked
5. American Music Club - Love Songs for Patriots
6. Hidden Cameras - Mississauga Goddam
7. Luna - Rendezvous
8. Futureheads - S/T
9. Delays - Faded Seaside Glamour
10. Saturday Looks Good To Me - Every Night
11. Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days
12. Nancy Sinatra - S/T
13. Nora O'Connor - Til the Dawn
14. Devendra Banhart - Nino Rojo 
15. Aberfeldy - Young Forever
16. Tom Waits - Real Gone
17. Ted Leo/Rx - Shake the Sheets
18. Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose
19. The Walkmen - Bows & Arrows
20. Casual Dots - S/T

Numbers one and two are really a tie - they're
definitely the records I listened to most this year,
but the Jens Lekman record came out later, so I
listened to it slightly less.  11-20 are really in no
order at all -- just all albums I liked a lot.

As for boxed sets, outstanding ones were the Left of
the Dial box, the Blondie Singles box, and Five Guys
Walked Into a Bar... from the Faces.

Nice reissues of London Calling and Crooked Rain,
Crooked Rain.

Liked the Pixies Bam Thwok single quite a lot,
although it's more Breeders (good period) than Pixies.
