I dunno, these are all great, but I think the Pedaljets newest album should be on the list.

I haven’t looked back at everyone’s list, but has anyone mentioned Spiritualized’s “Songs in A&E” yet? That’s my favorite album of the year. I’m not saying it should be #1 on any lists but at least a mention by someone would be nice. Nobody put out anything as sweet and yet so introspective all year . . .
