 2. The Beatles Love The Martins Strike Back
 Not a New Beatles  record but an incredible stimulation I mean simulation
 Let it be Naked? Come now 
 Bodes well for a remastering of their entire catalogue ... Bring it!
 
 3. Arctic Monkeys Whatever People Say i Am That's What I'm Not
 Enough Said Turn it up and Dig the Drummer too

 7. The Raconteurs Broken Boy Soldiers a great disc form even a better live band
 
 8. Lindsey Buckingham Under The Skin
 Beautiful and even better live
 
 9 Jet Shine On
 The record Oasis meant to make after What's' The Story Morning Glory
 
 10 Muse Black Holes and Revelations
 
 11. Wolfmother Listen any band whose bass player puts down his ax in the middle of the song to rock the Organ and then returns to his bass for the big conclusion is automatically in my top 10 
 
 That and coping Goldy McJohn's from Steppenwolf's afro gives it even more bonus points
 
 
 My Fave song of the year is Matt Pond PA's So Much Trouble From 2005
