1. Stephen Malkmus - Face The Truth (no serious competition yet)
2. The Decemberists - Picaresque
3. Super Furry Animals - Love Kraft
4. Andrew Bird - The Mysterious Production Of Eggs
5. Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
6. Spoon - Gimme Fiction
7. 13 & God - s/t
8. Death Cab For Cutie - Plans
9. Fruit Bats - Spelled In Bones
10. Son Volt - Okemah And The Melody Of Riot

I think # 9 & 10 will be knocked off the list by year's end, although they're both pretty good but those first eight are excellent.
