I took all opinion out of this one and just based it on last.fm plays. I fudged the numbers a little bit to move around a couple albums that lost out by not being played on my computer as often as I listened to them in the car, on a run or at the gym (#3 and #4 are the prime examples.) Still, for the most part last.fm tells the story of my listening habits pretty well, so they prove useful.

My Morning Jacket – Evil Urges should be on this list in my opinion…
and possibly the new Of Montreal record.
On a side note, I interviewed Girl Talk recently and the show was pretty crazy. Interesting stuff about copyright law and the “pay what you want to” model for music sales…
Spears has photos from the show on his blog:

I think I listened to the new My Morning Jacket once. I don’t own it, so I’m at fault there.
The new Of Montreal I haven’t really gotten into. I think I’ve played it all the way through twice. It just hasn’t grabbed me yet.

As a note, I’ve decided to listen to it once more, right now. I move at internet speed…
