Maximo Park - "Our Earthly Pleasures" is my favourite album this year. A real grower, subtle melodies and lyrics that are a great snapshot of modern relationships (not in a poncey way either) .
LCD Soundsystem - "Sounds of Silver" is next after that. Two of the tracks are classics - "Where are your friends" and "Someone Great" - the rest range from great to decent and stand up to repeat listens.
The rest of mine might be a bit too obscure to be mentioned. There are a couple of beautiful tracks on the Bat for Lashes album.

I was just pleased that I'd heard of some of them and even have a couple on my iPod
Whatever happened to Lucky Soul or was that 2008.
For mature music listeners I've been listening to the new Levon Helm album Dirt Framer great! two country soul compilations Fantastic and the Everly brothers - golden greats and Songs our Daddy taught us, Fab!
also if anyone is interested, BBC4 later thjis month has a documentary about E on his journey across America to learn about the father he never really knew, Hugh Everett III, the quantum physicist.

they've been touring Europe. Throwing an xmas party this year instead of a new year party on the 19th december maybe at the amersham arms. unfortunately I can't make it, but its sure to be great.
Henry - I listened to Levon Helm and I can hear the richness and quality of the music and he provides good, weathered vocals - ....but unfortunately it is too rootsy for my ears .... which is a shame I guess!

Fair enough. If you like the voice check him out in his prime on "music from Big Pink" and "The Band" by The Band
Had trouble downloading the Hawley album but will try again.

Kings of Leon - On Call
Reverend and the Makers - Heavyweight Champion
The Aliens - Rox
The Twang - Either Way
Dolittle - Epicure
Not of the year, just of the moment.
I'm looking forward to seeing Richard Hawley in Toronto next month Salad.
