30. Tegan And Sara – The Con 82
The Con is surprisingly darker, and more honest compared to Tegan And Sara’s earlier work, but it could be their best.
29. of Montreal – Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? 82
Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? is probably the most fun you can have while pretending to be too good for guitar-pop. Despite the music’s fun nature, Barnes offers some of indie’s most serious, cohesive albums of the year.
28. Wilco – Sky Blue Sky 82
Sky Blue Sky is 50% of the best album of the decade, and the other 50% is just decent, but down-to-earth nonetheless. As retro and anti-hipster Sky Blue Sky may be, Wilco is still one of contemporary pop’s most vital artists.
27. Blonde Redhead – 23 83
At first listen, 23 poses the question of why Blonde Redhead doesn’t lead a legion of fans of Radiohead or Sonic Youth-magnitude, but after a second listen, another question is raised, Who needs a Blonde Radiohead?
Tegan And Sara – Umbrella (Rihanna Cover) (YSI)
of Montreal – Suffer For Fashion (YSI)
Wilco – Either Way (YSI)
Blonde Redhead – 23 (YSI)

Tegan And Sara’s album was one of my favorite of the year. Great that its on your list, even though it seems as its on the bottom, but what can ya do?

Haha I’ve got to say, I’m kind of relieved that people aren’t yelling at me (too much?) Haha!
