Your top five are all in my top 10.
Just add Circa, The Morning Of, maybe Gifts From Enola, PMToday...
Meh, I better just do a list. Will be up later.

no jonsi love anywhere? damn.
glad to see a great big pile of leaves there a couple times.

I got a late start on a lot of 2009 albums in 2010, but I think these were all released this year.

In no particular order...

The Wonder Years - The Upsides
Motion City Soundtrack- My Dinosaur Life
Neon Trees - Habits
Gaslight Anthem - American Slang
Kele Okereke - The Boxer

Jeremy's list is probably the closest to mine. Frightened Rabbit, Titus Andronicus, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, The National, and The Morning Benders all are right around the top 10 for me. Trash Talk, Daughters, Janelle Monae, and Broken Bells are all up there as well.

Edit: I am also surprised by the lack of Jonsi. Not a huge fan personally, but I thought he'd be on a few lists.

Quick thoughts:

1. Where are Jason's picks at?
2. Tao delivers again with the indie picks
3. Don't know if it wasn't released in time for the lists but no Man Overboard (note: just saw it on Thomas' list)
4. Tsai -- Surprised to see Blitzen Trapper on there, this album was pretty blah to me
5. Joe -- Skeletons at #1?

And I am very, very surprised to see Neon Trees on only one list, at #10.

(More Than) Honorable Mentions:

Trash Talk - Eyes and Nines
Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis
Wolf Parade - Expo 68
Narrative - s/t
Gifts From Enola - s/t
The Dig - Electric Toys
Steel Train - Steel Train

Envy On The Coast- Low Country
Angels & Airwaves- LOVE
Gaslight Anthem- American Slang
Motion City Soundtrack- My Dinosaur Life
The Wonder Years- The Upsides
AM Taxi- We Don't Stand A Chance
Just Surrender- Phoenix
We Are The In Crowd- Guaranteed to Disagree (EP)
Sing It Loud- Everything Collides
Hawtorne Heights- Skeletons

Murder by Death - Good Morning Magpie
LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening
The Tallest Man On Earth - The Wild Hunt
Fang Island - S/T
Four Year Strong - Enemy of the World
Sleigh Bells - Treats
The Gaslight Anthem - American Slang
The Wonder Years - The Upsides
Motion City Soundtrack - My Dinosaur Life
Future Islands - In Evening Air

Not too shabby of a year thus far!

For now:

1. Circa Survive- Blue Sky Noise
2. Motion City Soundtrack- My Dinosaur Life
3. The Audition- Great Danger
4. Four Year Strong- Enemy of the World
5. Coheed and Cambria- Year of the Black Rainbow

Those still in the running that I haven't given a good listen:
Envy on the Coast- Lowcountry
As I Lay Dying- The Powerless Rise
The Gaslight Anthem- American Slang

And what we're still waiting on:
You, Me and Everyone We Know- Some Things Don't Wash Out
Valencia
Craig Owens's new project
Manchester Orchestra?

Glad that someone is giving Janelle Monae some credit. That album is honestly the coolest thing I've heard in a few years.
