Honorable Mentions

The Colour and the Shape - Foo Fighters
Vices - Dead Poetic

Wow this was not easy. It is very likely that this list could change month to month. I have recently found some very talented bands that could break the top 15 in the near future (ex: Porcupine Tree, Oceansize, Kong, Amplifier, The Dear Hunter, etc.).
What albums do you think should be in the Top 15?

Picking only 15 and feeling comfortable with my choices has me on the edge of a nervous breakdown. So to calm any rogue waves of OCD I alphabetized instead of numbered, thus removing any favoritism from the order. Come on, a mother never tells her children she loves some of them more than others, even if she secretly does. In any event - that's a loose 15. I'll think of some that could easily be on there and/or ostracize some that are on there as unfit in like... 3 minutes. -

I've been obsessed the the new album since I got it. I'm hoping for more of a US tour in the future. I saw them in Vancouver, B.C. a couple of years ago and it was a brilliant show. -
