And in a ridiculously short space of time, Mumford & Sons have come from obscurity to my second favourite album this year, after Sarah Blasko's.

Alot great titles in here....Lord you added Primal fear and New Saxon!!!

There are a few titles here that I'll be going through!

I'll add to the mix.

[Salmacis]

That's a fantastic album MP!

I got a couple more too. This one sorta went unnoticed:



And this one's only been out since November, but it's an absolute blinder!

[TheFeldster]

Gah, a classic rock forum and they've forgotten a very good release from one of the quintessential artists of the classic rock era



Also (and I'll get slammed from every Aussie from Perth to Melbourne for this one), I actually like Wes Carr's debut album



Also, if we come across any good albums this year, what section do we put it under? I believe it's a new decade

Cool list Tiny Tim, I'll go through a few of the ones I don't have. If you had to pick the best 5 from your list what would they be?

Well the first five but Isbell and Case are pretty country oriented, great songwriting though and Case's voice could melt steel. Knowing your tastes a little I would recommend Dinosaur Jr. and Muse in their place. That's assuming you have already heard Mastodon.

I adore Jason Lytle, I have all the Granddady albums. I haven't heard his solo stuff yet. I'll check it out. Thanks for posting that.

I heard the samples on Amazon and I am buying the album. Just like Granddaddy - so beautiful!!

Yours Truly is indeed gorgeous...before I looked I thought the name of it was I'm Coming Home LOL
