okay, so...there's a thread for the ten best released this year, but...i didn't really listen to a lot of new music this year. all i'm interested in is what you listened to over and over since the year started.

here's mine:

1. radiohead - hail to the thief
2. magnetic fields - 69 love songs
3. bar kokhba sextet - book of angels, volume 10: lucifer
4. spiritualized - songs in a&e
5. golden smog - down by the old mainstream
6. jamie saft trio - book of angels, volume 1: astaroth
7. seu jorge - the life aquatic studio sessions
8. explosions in the sky - the earth is not a cold dead place
9. beastie boys - paul's boutique
10. neutral milk hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea

warning in advance, folks: this thread will be strictly moderated. if you post more than 10, anything from 11 on will be edited out. you have to follow the rules.
