    Suck it and See - Arctic Monkeys
    Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
    King of the Beach - Wavves
    What Did You Expect From The Vaccines? - The Vaccines

    Don't know what else. Raconteurs probably. I can't choose.

    What are your 10 favourite albums of all time?

    Mine would be:
    The Fool & Exquisite Corpse (EP) - Warpaint (I know it's cheating to count them as one but they are both too perfect to have a first and second)
    Midnight Boom - The Kills
    Knives Don't Have Your Back - Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton
    For Emma, Forever Ago - Bon Iver
    Teen Dream - Beach House
    Los Angeles - Flying Lotus
    Grow Up & Blow Away - Metric
    Crooks & Lovers - Mount Kimbie
    Bellow - Sister Crayon
    Smother - Wild Beasts

    Also throw in some Arthur Russell.

    That should totally be in every ones top ten- it's a magnificent album.

    dug this up cos it's interesting to see how my tastes changed in 6 months.

    September 2011

    The stone roses-The stone roses
    the smiths-meat is murder
    the beatles-abbey road
    simon and garfunkel-sounds of silence
    rolling stones-sticky fingers
    the byrds-fifth dimension
    oasis-definitely maybe
    the jesus and mary chain-darklands
    beach boys-pet sounds
    jimi hendrix-are you experienced
    --
    march 2012

    sonic youth-daydream nation
    dinosaur jr-you're living all over me
    pavement-slanted and enchanted
    jesus and mary chain-psychocandy
    pixies-Doolittle
    my bloody valentine-loveless
    the beatles-revolver
    the beach boys-pet sounds
    the smiths-meat is murder
    the stone roses-the stone roses

    both lists were the order they came into my head. evidently much more feedback and noise type stuff on the newer list but the classics remain there.
