> A difficult year to limit picks to anything like a top 10 as few
> stand out from all the great music I heard. So I have created 3
> groups of 7. The first 2 groups are virtually interchangeable; the
> 3rd group is new releases by personal faves that hung around the
> playlist all year. Plus a special shout-out to The Beatles Mono Box
> Set, a wondrous success in bringing the Fab Four into the digital age.
>
> First 7
> A Place To Bury Strangers - Exploding Head - Swirling noise that seen
> live may actual cause some heads to explode.
> Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion - A brilliant mixture
> of experimental soundscapes tethered to a more accessible rock idiom.
> The Decemberists - The Hazards Of Love - An intriguing song cycle
> that hearkens back to 1970s British folk rock.
> Great Lake Swimmers - Lost Channels - Toronto singer-songwriter Tony
> Dekker's beautiful folk-pop songs shine in this, his 4th release.
> Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest - String quartets and choral arrangements
> duel with acoustic guitars and vocal harmonies, sometimes rock,

> fronted by vocalist Amber Webber highlighted by my personal song of
> the year, Take It Home.

> Doves - Kingdom Of Rust - Manchester Brit-pop thrives as Doves makes
> my list for the 4th time in 4 releases.
> Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown - A worthy follow-up to their
> Broadway-bound mega-smash American Idiot.
> Heartless Bastards - The Mountain - Erika Wennerstrom moved from
> Cincinnati to Austin, replaced her 2 bandmates, and crafted another great
disc.
