Ok, this is a little more accurate than the last one I made. Unless something swoops in out of nowhere, this is probably what my top ten will be. There may be some small shake ups, but this is pretty much it.
1. Holding Onto Hope - Of The Sea
2. Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate) - what it takes to move forward
3. The Dangerous Summer - Reach For The Sun
4. Tides Of Man - Empire Theory
5. Portugal. The Man - The Satanic Satanist
6. Oceana - Birth Eater
7. A Lot Like Birds - Plan B
8. Dance Gavin Dance - Happiness
9. Oh, Sleeper - Son Of The Morning
10. mewithoutYou - it's all crazy! it's all false! it's all a dream! it's alright
I came across these guys a month or two ago when a user on here made a thread about them. I've pretty much been listening to them non stop since then, and their album Plan B has become one of my favorite releases of 2009. They're a strange band, that's for sure, with lots of weird intros, ska influence, and some pretty crazy guitar work. So, I present to you, "When The Wolf Is Counting Sheep"
So I've been meaning to update my list for a long time, and I have a shit load of free time today so I might as well do it. I'm not quite sure how many albums I'm gonna put on this at the end of the year, but I'm gonna start with my top 10 here. Eventually I'll add a favorite songs/album art/honorable mentions section. But for now, keeping it simple.
