Well, considering as we'll be in 2010 in a short time, I thought this might be a fun thread to make--Album of the Decade!
I don't expect you to narrow it down to a single album, hence the reason it's a top 5. For me, it'd have to be.....
1) Eisenhower by The SLIP
2) Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
3) I'm Wide Awake It's Morning by Bright Eyes
4) Expensive Vomit in a Cheap Hotel by Sleeping in the Aviary
5) Infinity Land by Biffy Clyro
I'm sure there's at least one forehead-slap-worthy album I forgot.
Honorable mention/others that crossed my mind:
-Elephant by The White Stripes
-Carnavas by Silversun Pickups
-From a Basement on the Hill by Elliott Smith (excluded only because I didn't want 2 Elliott albums in there)
-Both Before I'm Gone by Girl in a Coma
-Source Tags and Codes by ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of the Dead
-Into the West by Pilot Speed
What's your tops of the decade?
Complicate my ways again....
Anarchy in the Zune Social! :-P
