My fiscal year just started over (30 years old! WOOT!) so I'm trying to put together a list of the best albums I've heard this past year (since I turned 29). Most are probably predictable, but screw it. Maybe my tastes are pretty predictable.
In no particular order:
Boxer by The National (OK this one is the best, sorry other bands)
Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
The Magic Position by Patrick Wolf
The Stage Names by Okkervil River
The Reminder by Feist
Can't resist adding this video from David Letterman with a billion indie rockers clapping along.
From Here We Go Sublime by The Field
Cryptograms by Deerhunter
Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer by Of Montreal
Ys by Joanna Newsom
(Video for "The Sprout and the Bean" from The Milk Eyed Mender)
The Crane Wife by The Decemberists
Boys and Girls in America by The Hold Steady
What would you put in your Top 10?

The National Album is fantastic...
these other albums are awful.

the national is just more indie angst... not that great. some considerations:
Iron & Wine - The Shepards Dog
Calexico - Toolbox
Low - Drums and Guns
The Zincs - Black Pompadour
