1. Sigh No More - Mumford & Sons - 2010
Tight harmonies, folk and bluegrass rhythms, catchy tunes and a genuine earnestness make this an easy top pick for the decade.
2. Super Taranta! - Gogol Bordello - 2007
If we are here not to do3. Light Chasers - Cloud Cult - 2010
What you and I want to do
And go forever crazy with it
Why the hell we are even here?!
Symphony musicians meet rock genius. A concept album with a theme of 'spaceflight' may seem a bit trite, but the journey travels through birth, purpose, faith, the unknown and awakening. In some sense I feel this is my top pick, but the album has a bit of a learning curve. I would nominate the last song on the album, "There's so Much Energy In Us" as the best song of the decade - its one of those songs that builds throughout the song (and the entire album), but actually delivers at the end.
4. For You Only - Rachel Ries - 2005
Why haven't you heard of her?!
5. Contra - Vampire Weekend - 2010
6. Confort Eagle - Cake - 2001
7. Up from Below - Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros - 2010
8. American IV: The Man Comes Around - Johnny Cash - 2002
9. Live Wisely - Craic Wisely - 2005
Yep.
10. Picaresque - The Decemberists - 2005
