I've been slow on my music consumption this year, but have been picking it up as of late. Here are my top 5 albums:

1. Afghan Whigs - Do to the beast
2. Claps your hands say yeah - Only run
3. Spoon -- They Want My Soul
4. Eric Church - The Outsiders
5. Foster The People - Supermodel


Your turn. If you wanna add some honorable mentions, I certainly won't object.

Gah, how did I forget this one? Definitely in my top 5. I guess I bump Protomartyr to honorable mention.

Is it not cool to like Jack White anymore? Because I think Lazeretto is great.

I throw my vote to War on Drugs as well. The few Spoon songs I've heard are good too, but haven't listened to entire album yet.

I don't get the love for Future Islands...they'd be in my top 10 least favorite bands. Horribad.
