30. M83 – Saturdays = Youth
34. Sun Kil Moon – April
40. Kathleen Edwards – Asking For Flowers

Yeah, hard to tell with him I guess.



Notes on the thread:

1. I enjoy seeing the lurkers come out for this.
2. My first review of the thread and lists. Always amazed at the plethora of albums that I've either not heard or just couldn't put in my top 50 but on another day may well have placed.

[autodafe]

Forgot to add Eric Copeland's (Black Dice) solo EP 'Alien in a Garbage Dump'. For people who enjoy the Residents, Gang Gang Dance, Panda Bear, etc.

68. The Notwist – The Devil, You + Me
