Since I either bought or downloaded (legit, of course) a lot of good music this year, I thought I would let you kids know what I have been digging this year.

Here are the ten best, in alphabetical order, albums that I heard this year.

• Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – Take Them On On Your Own
• Broken Social Scene – You Lost It In People
• Dressy Bessy
• New Pornographers – Electric Version
• Pretty Girls Make Graves – The New Romance
• Raveonettes – Chain Gang Of Love
• Spiritualized – Amazing Grace
• Starflyer 59 – Old
• Strokes – Room On Fire
• White Stripes – Elephant

A few other things I bought or downloaded (again, legit downloads only! ha ha) that was damn cool too:

• Blur – Think Tank
• Cat Power – You Are Free
• Kathleen Edwards – Failer
• Guided By Voices – Earthquake Glue
• Libertines – Up The Bracket

And although the album it was on kinda sucked, “Restraining Order Blues” by the eels is the best love song of this year, or any year.
