top ten albums (plus 1)

as of TODAY "what" might you ask "are your favorite albums, bobbi?"
reminder: you asked about My fav albums as of TODAY (reasons for my selections are many and as I. See. Fit.), not the besterests of-all-time, not the greatest of quality, style, and/or tranquility to some crazy music critic, or worse, Your favorites. most of these are more on the side of new-to-me. generally, i have recently seen the band OR will soon OR would like to ;) dmb will always have a special place in my heart, but ... not today dave.
now this is best Albums - love Every song, very album & the parathetical after encompasses my favorite song on the album. i'm what you call a music fan. the definition of which can be found here: http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2007/08/28/midmorning2/
we don't let the radio people or our friends decide the 'single' we're gonna be exposed to.
{if you want to ask me and are interested to know, i could compile an All-Time greatest top ten (plus 1) list, too.}
lemme just tell you, this was A. LOT. harder to do than i thought it'd be, with MANY notable unmentions!!! :(
ok. i've Finally created my list, so let me tell you, dammit (...and in no particular order):

the cinematics - a strange ecucation (asleep at the wheel #12) - caitlin! nice bus boys!
cold war kids - robbers and cowards (robbers #7) - that show was kicks, eh jb?
kings of leon - because of the times (arizona #13) - yes andy ... even number 2
the white rabbits - fort nightly (i used to complain now i don't #6) but I still do - have you read my blog?
fiona apple - extraordinary machine (tymps (the sick in the head song) #5) - jen&i must've listened to this at LV 32 thousand times.
spoon - ga ga ga ga ga (finer feelings #9) - birthday event? spoon concert!
the cribs - mens needs womens needs whatever (be safe #10) sadly, this show blew. jeremy seems to think it was their crappy soundman.
robbers on high street - tree city (beneath the trees #3) - accidently ran across this band opening for the redwalls. dammed good thing!
kylie minogue - fever (come into my world #7) - lucas sent me this video like 2 years ago ... awesome.
modest mouse - we were dead before the ship even sank (missed the boat #6, probably but maybe florida #4, however it could be little hotel #10, well then there's education #9, now i can't forget about we've got everything #7, dammit steam engenius #11 is pretty fine too, yep - there are more contenders... - i have failed to narrow this down, but truth be told, i'm not perfect: now go ahead and remove that shocked look from your face) - thanks for the intro and the further leading me to their greatness, andy.
citizen cope - every waking moment (brother lee #5) - the current is responsible for our relationship. gracias current - we're in love!

soooo ... suggestions, comments, complaints, concerns, compliments, condiments, wha's, OR Your lists are all welcome!
