Nice list. Again some choices in common with my own top 20. I probably need to give some of these a go: the Wild Swans one has sort of been on my radar but I haven't heard much of it, TV on the Radio are another band I've heard good things about, and maybe Noel's worth a go too. Good stuff.
Glad you like it! The Wild Swans album has been ignored by the critics, but is well worth a listen.
Do you have any particular favourites this year?
Pete - Should have spotted the link to your list - Doh!
Have a great Xmas.
