hm my list sucks
1996- Stereolab- Emperor Tomato Kitchen
1997- Buena Vista Social Club- Buena Vista Social Club
1998- Neutral Milk Hotel- In The Aeroplane Over The Sea (yeah..... stfu. Pulp, Air, and Massive Attack are not far behind.)
1999- The Flaming Lips- The Soft Bulletin
2000- Radiohead- Kid A (I guess... I feel like I'm definitely missing the best stuff of that year.
2001- Ben FolRAB- Rockin' The Suburbs (for its lulz.... it was actually pretty hard to choose. I might like Amnesiac more after some more listens, plus there's Oh, Inverted World and White Blood Cells
2002- Sigur Ros- () (Yoshimi would probably win this but I don't want two Flaming Lips albums so this is it)
2003- Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros- Streetcore (Just been loving this recently... The Shins come close.)
2004- Phoenix- Alphabetical (Another year where there's nothing I love a super amount)
2005- Really hard to pick.... I'll just go with nuraber one as a tie between WHY?- Elephant Eyelash and Sufjan Stevens- Illinoise, with Gorillaz- Demon Days coming up as second (or third)
2006- Primal Scream- Riot City Blues
2007- PJ Harvey- White Chalk
2008- WHY?- Alopecia
2009- Animal Collective- Merriweather Post Pavilion (For lack of owning anything truly spectacular)
That's it folks... I don't think I own a single 2010 album.... really should get on top of that.
