Top 15


Started watching High Fidelity a few days ago and the main character, Rob, is pseudo-obsessed with making lists.

So I decided to make one. Here's my top 15 (or so) favorite albums since 2003 (in no particular order):
1. Arcade Fire - 'Funeral'
2. Guillemots - 'Through the Windowpane'
3. Spank Rock - 'yoyoyoyoyo'
4. Blonde Redhead - '23'
5. Chairlift - 'Does It Inspire You'
6. Cut Copy - 'In Ghost Colours'
7. Crystal Castles - 'Crystal Castles'
8. Keane - 'Under the Iron Sea' and 'Hopes and Fears'
9. The Knife - 'Deep Cuts'
10. Ladyhawke - 'Ladyhawke'
11. La Roux - 'La Roux'
12. Little Boots - 'Hands'
13. M83 - 'Before the Dawn Heals Us' and 'Saturdays=Youth'
14. Ghostland Observatory - 'Paparazzi Lightning'
15. New Order - 'Brotherhood' and 'Substance'

What are yours? I wanna know.

Discovery - LP should really be on everyone's list. Seriously the best album of 2009 so far (in my opinion).
