shit! I have forgotten The Mountain Goats - Heretic Pride and Laura Marlinag - Alas I Cannot Swim, and Conor Oberst with selftitled album, MGMT deserves to be in there and... and..
A Great list. Really! If I would make a top, 98 percent of these would fit in.
Some of albums (a top 60 would be more suitable?) I would like to mention: Detektivbyrån/E18 Album, Yasushi Yoshida/Little Grace, Cloud Cult/Feel Good Ghosts...
thanks!you are right.. too many great albums stay under the line. though I have to confess Yarushi Yoshida is unknown to me.. yet. ;)
