I will add that I still need to get Plastic Beach from Gorillaz. I have a feeling it would make it in my list after hearing all of it.
 
Leave Your Sleep -Natalie Merchant
No Better Than This-John Mellencamp
National Ransom-Elvis Costello
 
You just reminded me I have to check out that Broken Social Scene album, too. I like a lot of their older stuff, and I'm a huge fan of Feist and Emily Haines.
 
The Creepshow- They All Fall Down
The Dreadnoughts- Polka's Not Dead
Spoon -Transference
Neil Young- Le Noise
 
Going through the wiki list is interesting, several albums I liked, many I may like.

Brothers - The Black keys (I have the large single and love it)
The Suburbs - Arcade fire (haven't heard all of it, but like what i've heard well enough)
The Final frontier - Iron maiden (maiden, 'nuff said:smoke:)
Valleys of Neptune - Jimi Hendrix (enjoyable enough, interesting material)

And my favorite overall (that I can recall)
Snakes for the Divine - High on fire.
 
Boy, I don't listen to much new stuff out there, but "Them Crooked Vultures" is my fave of 2010.

NP - UFO - Rockpalast

Dr. Dog - Shame, Shame
Cabin - Among the Rectangles and Changeable Parts
Black Keys - Brothers
Ra Ra Riot - The Orchard

Jukebox the Ghost - Everything Under the Sun
Frightened Rabbit - The Winter of Mixed Drinks
