Worked out through seeing which albums got the most plays in iTunes, with a bit of seasonal adjustment for those released towards the end of the year – These are not really in any order.
The Killers – Sam’s Town
Loose Fur – Born Again in the USA
Guillemots – Through the Window Pane
Thom Yorke – The Eraser
The Fratellis – Costello Music
Joanna Newsom – Ys
Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan – Ballad of the Broken Seas
Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins – Rabbit Fur Coat
Midlake – The Trials of Van Occupanther
Sonic Youth – Rather Ripped
This has been a very good year for albums, with at least 5 others that would have made my top 10 on any other year.
