Daniel was asking me to do this the other day and I couldn't. So I thought I'd just make a list to share and for future reference. This was super hard because it's difficult to separate favorite bands from favorite albums, you know? I based ratings on album cohesiveness, musicianship, how much it has affected my own playing/recording of music, and slight nostalgia. And maybe use of panning? I really like creative panning.
(In no particular order)
-Toe The Book About My Idle Plot On A Vague Anxiety
-Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
-The Appleseed Cast Low Level Owl Pts. 1 & 2
-Further Seems Forever The Moon is Down
-Don Caballero What Burns Never Returns/American Don (tie)
Honorable mention (some of which might should be in the actual top 5):
-Between the Buried and Me Alaska
-mewithoutYou Brother, Sister
-Pedro the Lion Control
-The Microphones The Glow, Pt. 2
-Joan of Arc How Memory Works
WHAT ARE YOURS???

I've got my work cut out for me in checking out these albums everyone's mentioning.

honorable mention:
Maps & Atlases - You and Me and the Mountain
Sleeping at Last - Ghosts

Rx Bandits - ...and the Battle Begun
I feel like Sufjan, Sigur Ros, and Battles should be on my list too. For various reasons I chose to leave them out. Also, I'm happy that someone put Steve Reich. I love when a band says they are influenced by Reich.
Idaho - Year After Year
M.B.V. - (of course) Loveless
Duster - Contemporary Movement
Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children
and there is a tie between 33.3 - Plays music and Wilco - A Ghost is born
