I only bought 4 albums this year, and you only left out one. Sigur Ros consistently blows me away. The other 3 were Bon Iver, Ray Lamontagne, and Cloud Cult.
the new kings of leon album, "only by the night" was incredible... i'd like to nominate that for the best of list. also, the best of radiohead album is also incredible... ha!
but... on the never list, i'd like to add:
vertical horizon
metallica
lil wayne
and aaron carter
also, three doors down never made it, or the new third eye blind.
Cody good call on the Sigur Ros....Steve also on the no list Matchbox 20
