Here's my obligatory best of the decade list.

I refrained from double entries. presumably the mountains goats, arcade fire, Andrew Bird and Animal collective all would have earned a second position. And maybe add okkervil river and the shins to that list too.

1: Arcade Fire - Neon Bible (2007)
2: The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree (2005)
3: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (2005)
4: Animal Collective - Feels (2005)
5: Sigur Rós - Takk... (2005)
6: Andrew Bird - the Mysterious Production of Eggs (2005)
7: Beirut - Gulag Orkestar (2006)
8: The Shins - Oh, Inverted World (2001)
9: Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy (2005)
10: Regina Spektor - Soviet Kitch (2004)

Damn, 2005 was a great year in music!
