Might as well get this in writing to see if my picks stand the test of time. These are the albums I found myself listening to the most this year. As usual, some of these may have come out in 2010 but I discovered them in 2011. In no order:
Ryan Adams-Ashes and Fire
Other Lives-Tamer Animals
Decemberists-The King Is Dead
Bon Iver-Bon Iver
Jessica Lea Mayfield-Tell Me
Wye Oak-Civilian
Lower Dens-Twin-Hand Movement
Wilco-The Whole Love
Elbow-Build a Rocket Boys!
My Morning Jacket-Circuital
Honorable mention to Antlers, Belle Brigade, Lykke Li, The Head and the Heart, Mother Falcon, and Suzanna Choffel. I also liked the new Fleet Foxes but I don't think it was better than their debut. My personal opinion, obviously.
I haven't even listened to the new Real Estate or M83 yet but they're on everybody else's top 10 list so I'll be getting them shortly.

I have both M83 and Real Estate if you want I can burn you a CD.
Hopefully I'll get over it, but the Bon Iver still makes me sad when I hear it.
