    With you on Wilco.

    I'm not that fussed on Bright Eyes - just heard his live album and it sounds good but I just don't like most of what he does. The distaste started with the song 'Lua'.

    Sufjan is alot of people's I like his voice - not got round to buying yet.

    I'll stay out of this on account of the effort involved and a remote memory.

        Right off the top of my head, with no real thought:

        Bearsuit Cat Spectacular
        HOTS Lost Riots
        Radiohead Amnesiac
        Radiohead Hail To The Thief

      • Re: Top 10s of the last 5 years for non DiS staff

        Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism
        Franz Ferdinand - S/T
        The Vines - Highly Evolved
        The Strokes - Is This It
        Interpol - TOBL
        Secret Machines - Now Here is Nowhere
        Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak
        The Libertines - Up the Bracket
        Interpol - Antics
        Death Cab for Cutie - We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes

        Others: Arcade Fire - Funeral / Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have it So Much Better... / Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger.

        I honestly don't think Funeral is as good as its made out to be. Its brilliant, but not amazing. Also, by the time I have a Trail of Dead album, that will probably kick out one of those... I hope.
