Man, I'm having a hell of a time with this. Coop mentioned in the albums thread that he thought it was more of a singles year. I actually think the complete opposite. I've really looked at the year from a totally album-oriented angle, and it's been a great album year at that. Here's my shot, basically taking some favorite tracks from favorite albums and likely missing a lot of one-off singles. Listing is in sort of mix mode, ie. no repeat bands even though many of my favorite bands would make the list two or three times otherwise.
01. Island - The Phantom Band - Checkmate Savage
02. Whirring - The Joy Formidable - A Balloon Called Moaning
03. The Rake's Song - The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love
04. Who Can Say - The Horrors - Primary Colours
05. Chandelier - Morton Valence - Bob And Veronica Ride Again
06. Sacred Trickster - Sonic Youth - The Eternal
07. Lightning Lightning - Violens - Lightning Lightning CDS
08. Death - White Lies - To Lose My Life
09. Zero - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz!
10. Something Global - Fight Like Apes - And The Mystery Of The Golden Medallion
11. Puzzles - The Mary Onettes - Islands
12. Step Aside - I Was A King - I Was A King
13. My Propeller - Arctic Monkeys - Humbug
14. Sick Muse - Metric - Fantasies
15. Don't Take Me To Space (Man) - Brakes - Touchdown
16. Let Go Of The Fear - Maps - Turning The Mind
17. Cities Burning Down - Howling Bells - Radio Wars
18. No You Girls - Franz Ferdinand - Tonight: Franz Ferdinand
19. The Great Escapes - Rifles - Great Escape
20. Stuck On Repeat - Little Boots - Hands
21. The Reeling - Passion Pit - Manners
22. There's No Secrets This Year - Silversun Pickups - Swoon
01. Island - The Phantom Band - Checkmate Savage
02. Whirring - The Joy Formidable - A Balloon Called Moaning
03. The Rake's Song - The Decemberists - The Hazards of Love
04. Who Can Say - The Horrors - Primary Colours
05. Chandelier - Morton Valence - Bob And Veronica Ride Again
06. Sacred Trickster - Sonic Youth - The Eternal
07. Lightning Lightning - Violens - Lightning Lightning CDS
08. Death - White Lies - To Lose My Life
09. Zero - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz!
10. Something Global - Fight Like Apes - And The Mystery Of The Golden Medallion
11. Puzzles - The Mary Onettes - Islands

Well, these selections certainly reinforce what Zil is saying in the Simon Reynolds thread. [;)]

There are always lots of new things I find out about just by looking at the next wave topic. This seemed like a singles year, as few groups sustained a full album worth for me. These are the songs I listened to the most - the last actually a 2008 release, but someone I just discovered this year. Some things mentioned before, some worth checking out.
1. Enter Me, Exit You - Office
2. Heads Will Roll - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3. To Lose My Life - White Lies
4. Young Adult Friction - Pains of Being at Heart
5. God Knows I Had Plans - Mary Onettes
6. Everything Is Shattering - Maps
7. 40 Day Dream - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
8. 11th Dimension - Julian Casablancas
9. Rat Race - the Hundreds and Thousands
10. Keep Slipping Away - A Place to Bury Strangers
11. Nightingale - Howling Bells
12. Quiet Little Voices - We Were Promised Jetpacks
13. We Share the Same Skies - the Cribs
14. Arcadia - Ash
15. Skyscraper - Julian Plenti
16. Sirens - the Whip
17. 1901 - Phoenix
18. Cradle - the Joy Formidable
19. The Joys of Finding and Losing that Girl - New Rhodes
20. Synchrotron - Simon Bookish

I didn't listen to The Rake's Song that much until I put in on my 2009 mix CD. Every time it comes on in my car, the more blown away I am by this song. It's at the nearly ear-splitting volumes that the full power of this song really takes hold. I don't know that there's been another song like it the entire decade. It's incredibly original, bizarrely brutal, and unbelievably compelling. I'm really starting to see the twisted genius of this song...

Although now it strikes me that the video is far less interesting than just the song alone - it leaves too little to the imagination. In my mind, the "video" was a much darker Brothers Grimm or Washington Irving affair. Cool live version here that's better than the video imho...
