OK, let's say you were asked to choose one album as your No. 1 of the year. Just one. Right now. Which would you pick?

And also, is your No. 1 indicative of your overall music taste or something that really came out of left field?

For me...it's Akron / Family's self titled debut. I usually like the folky singer / songwriter thing so it's no shocker.

And you?

this is the first year in a long time that I don't have a stand out favorite. I have have about 5 or 6 albums that I like equally. I've been playing MMJ -Z alot lately, but it's new.

Sigur Ros - Takk

Nothing matches it's intensity and emotion. So, so good.

Haven't heard Takk yet. Crooked Fingers is great.

My favorite right now is still Danny Cohen's We're All Gunna Die but it doesn't have any kind of greater AOTY cachet. He can't sing for shit and the songs are raspy little ruminations on death and loss. Luvs it.

I need to go back and look through my contenders list (I should probably bookmark that)...but off-hand it's between:

Mars Volta, Frances the Mute
Supersystem, Always Never Again

Strangely enough, I've decided that the most consistent album of the year for me is The Kings of Leon's Aha Shake Heartbreak.

Its just damn good from start to finish.

Edit: Radcliffe, do you still dislike Aha Shake?

No definitive #1, but the Smog & Bonnie/Sweeney releases are paving the way.

But whatever....

no surprise here but...
Son Volt - Okemah and the Melody of Riot.

Simple, yet deftly played with a good lyric.
American rock n roll never sounded better. (DBT's get mighty close)

I love the first 5 or 6 six songs, but then it loses me.

Maybe I should give this one another chance. I really tried.
I preferred Y&YM by a long shot.

Kent - Du & Jag Döden
with
Iron & Wine - Woman King [EP] a close second.

What's this Crooked Fingers all about? RIYL?
(their website has streaming tunes, pretty good.)
