I agree with most of your list, but I would have put A.C. Newman's record in the top twenty for sure. I really loved the Junior Boys record as well. Have you heard, Jason Forrest's record,"The unrelenting Songs of the 1979 post disco crash" yet? if not you should check it out, i bet you would like it, i do.
I am always thrilled to see some love for The Go! Team!
The Arcade Fire album is pretty tough to beat...
Shalom, y'all!
