Antony & The Johnsons: I Am A Bird Now
Arcade Fire: Neon Bible
Erykah Badu: Mama's Gun
Björk: Vespertine
Fleet Foxes: Fleet Foxes*
Fleet Foxes: Sun Giant* (EP with original version of Mykonos)
Interpol: Antics
M.I.A.: Arular
Wilco: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
The Notwist: Neon Golden (honorable patriotic mention only, as this good album pales in comparison to their brilliant album Shrink from 1998)
*Yes go on, Mr. Beauchamp, and call me a lame ass, but can you ban a person who loves Bacharach/David, Captain & Tenille, The Carpenters, huh?
Disappointments of the decade in my opinion: UK & Ireland (except Kate Bush's new album in 2005 after 12 year of absence, M.I.A., Radiohead, and a few others). USA & Canada were and are much better this decade.
I think I'll give it a go and buy Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots now, although after a first skip-through on amazon I doubt I'll like it as much as The Soft Bulletin.
