Nice list. I would add Animal Collective and M. Ward to the list.

Animal Collective is a must! (and Passion Pit)

I love the list, especially Auerbach’s position near the top. He definitely gets overlooked for other heavily hyped albums.
Haven’t heard the Horrors yet. Will check them out now!

Go ahead and make room on your list for Lucero’s new album – 1372 Overton Park. Pre-ordered it yesterday, and they give you an mp3 of half the album on the spot. Their first major label release, and first album in 3 years. Outstanding thus far!
