[Sqwunk]

Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns
mc chris - mc chris Goes To Hell

Picture Me Broken - Wide Awake
VersaEmerge - Fixed At Zero
A Day to Remember - What Separates Me From You

I've heard that Chiodos - Illuminaudio is a great album but I haven't gotten around to hearing it yet, same with Senses Fail - The Fire

I would list the top of the decade but honestly there are so many albums. Everything from SOAD, Co&Ca, mc chris, paramore, Panic! (ehhhh only the first album), Chevelle. Really the list goes on and on.

Plastic Beach - Gorillaz
The Powerless Rise - As I Lay Dying
Come Around Sundown - Kings of Leon

I'll add in top 5 in the past decade someday.

[Akiyama]

Not so much a super fave, but 'Immersion' by Pendulum is a definite improvement over past stuff, in particular the song "Watercolour".. so fucking addictive when playin' racing games.

Recovery by Eminem sorda made up for the previous shit too.

[notorious bum]

half of the Good Friday releases + half of MBDTF = pretty solid album
Bone Thugs - UNI5
Roots - How I got over
Ghostface's new album that just leaked
Slum Village - Villa Manifesto
Cee Lo - Lady Killa
Nottz - You Need This Album
Michael Jackson's new shit
Black Keys - Brothers
Rakaa - Crown of Thorns
Terrace Martin - Here, My Dear
SADE - Soldier of Love
Hendrix - Valleys of Neptune

Above average albums= Ciara, Tom Petty, Keyshia/Jamie Foxx new albums, Ron Isley, El Debarge, Kid Cudi, Zion I, Black Eye Peas(for that party ish)

Tons of good mixtapes too that would take forever to list. Not a bad year at all, especially with the long-awaited vets albums.

He posts his top albums every year, almost always indie music exclusively.

also...

Underoath - Disambiguation

I was actually disappointed with it, the absence of Aaron is very noticeable, I felt like there aren't really any songs that grab at me and tell me to listen to it again and again and again. I guess I was hoping for a Define the Great Line 3 (cause honestly Lost in the Sound of Seperation might as well have been Define The Great Line 2) and it wasn't that at all.

[Tidy]

2010
Circa Survive - Blue Sky Noise
Gorillaz - Plastic Beach
Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles II
B.o.B. - Adventures of Bobby Ray

Decade
Brand New - EVERYTHANG.
Say Anything - EVERYTHANG.
Slightly Stoopid - Closer to the Sun
Incubus - Morning View
Kanye West - Late Registration
Bayside - Bayside
Daft Punk - Discovery
Chiodos - All's Well That Ends Well
At the Drive-in - Relationship of Command
J Dilla - The Shining
Hieroglyphics - Full Circle
Saosin - Translating the Name

Probably a lot more, all I can think off the top of my head right now.

I thought it had some of the best lyrics Underoath(whatever incarnation since none of the original members are in the bands still) has written. I also really enjoyed songs like driftwood and paper lung, which had a really dark, ambient atmosphere.
