Haven't heard fully yet, but had a great chance of being in the Top 10 if I had heard fully but I'll be anal and not want to include in next year's list so will fall into a kind of netherworld and likely not receive the credit from me they deserve and I'll feel guilty, and hah, it looks like there are as many good CDs this year that I didn't listen to than those I did:
Pulp -- We Love Life
Strokes -- Is This It
Arnold -- Bahama
Nick Lowe -- The Convincer
Zero 7 -- Simple Things
Sloan -- Pretty Together
Leonard Cohen -- Ten New Songs
Ben & Jason -- Ten Songs About You
