The Head and the Heart was reissued on sub pop but was #2 on my list last year.<br /><br />@Alaska Dad - Awesome. Thanks for the comment, and also for your recommendations. I have not yet hear The Roots, or Bright Eyes. Gives me more to check out on Spotify.James (SeattleDad)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04087365610002249685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195142635395855095.post-3435074446596204072011-12-27T10:34:21.942-08:002011-12-27T10:34:21.942-08:00You had me at Best Albums!

Thanks for putting it out there. I know Seattle-taste so I would assume yours is good (similiar to mine).The People's Key-Bright Eyes, Angles-The Strokes, and How I Got Over-The Roots are all releases I enjoyed this year. It's sad to say but I did not listen to enough music to have a Top Ten this year. Happy New Year and keep Rocking the blogosphere. I will keep checking-in.Alaska DADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03113254005553246156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195142635395855095.post-70979686390620867842011-12-26T21:44:34.777-08:002011-12-26T21:44:34.777-08:00Of your list, I think I only own MMJ and Fleet Fox...Of your list, I think I only own MMJ and Fleet Foxes. The MMJ would make my list, but I'm not over the moon about the Fleet Foxes. I like it, but not in my Top 10. This year I have really loved the new albums from Mates of State, Dawes, Over the Rhine, Wilco, Bon Iver, Decemberists, Gillian Welch, Coldplay, Amos Lee, Civil Wars, and Ryan Adams. Decemberists, Mates of State, and Coldplay have probably gotten the most spins of all. I admit to not actually owning the Amos Lee, but it's on the radio a lot. I've also enjoyed Head & the Heart, and Blind Pilot, from your neck of the woods. Ohh, and I've forgotten Tristen. She got numerous spins in my car CD player as well. Nice little poppy, sugary record. Yum.

I will be checking them all out, if they are on Spotify that is.<br /><br />@Bruce - There has been a lot of good music made over the past few years. Worth a listen if you have the delivery options.<br /><br />@j-tony - Follow the links. You may find something you enjoy. Let me know if you do.<br /><br />@Tim - Yeah, they have a lot of good music. I tend to like music with some great riffs, but there are still some on there which aren't necessary guitar driven like beirut and devotchka.<br /><br />@Teri - That's a great start.

Your link got me started on a run of their youtube stuff.
