ten best albums of the decade

according to Jack, here are the winners, in no particular order:

Ys - Joanna Newsom
Ghost of David - Damien Jurado
Kid A - Radiohead
Lie Down in the Light - Bonnie Prince Billy
Magnolia Electric Company - Songs: Ohia
The Moon & Antartica - Modest Mouse
Old - Starflyer 59
Sunset Tree - the Mountain Goats
Time the Revelator - Gillian Welch
The Creek Drank the Cradle - Iron and Wine

(It's really hard to stop there, when the runners-up include Sufjan and Andrew Bird and Wilco and the Decemberists and Brother Danielson and Animal Collective...)

Yeah I don't see how you can't include Sufjan on this list. But I'm definitely with Jack on Ys by Joanna Newsom.

Ys would be in my top ten, too.

Maybe I should clarify that Jack's list is not the best musically or technically, but simply his favorite.

Seven Swans was in the top 15.
