3. Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights (178 points) 2003
4. Shins - Chutes Too Narrow (168 points) 2003
5. Wrens - Meadowlands (162 points) 2002
6. Trail of Dead - Sources, Codes & Tags (148 points) 2002

Not sure if the points system has changed over the years though.

I don't think the points system has changed...
More people voting / more lists = higher numbers in more recent years...

You'd have to do percentages to truly figure it out - and It'd be a royal pain in the butt to find out that most of the stuff from the first year (or 2) is ranked higher based on a lower participant base...

I don't think a single one of these would make my top ten of the past three years, but I could see this bearing out over all the lists. Its like a who's who of indie rock

The Wilco would make mine, unlikely for the rest. Nifty to see, though.
