Great list, Randy. Based on it, I have to recommend Frightened Rabbit's Midnight Organ Fight. It's a 2008 album that I didn't hear ntil early '09, based on some Best of lists. It has become one of my top 3 of '08 and I can't stop listening to it. It has struck me in much the same way as The National's Boxer, my fave album of '07. Both albums are produced by the same guy.
