Love the list. It's introduced me to some new bands/ artists, including Nick Drake, who is amazing.

two suggestions.
1)epitonic seems to be all but dead. it hasn't been updated since sometime last year, the community link is broken, and the radio streams don't work. 2)perhaps under websites add tinymixtapes and brooklynvegan

I agree. If This Year's Model made it, so should that one.
Although I think This Year's Model is a leeeetle bit better. |

My Morning Jacket - Z? At an overglance, I didn't see any of their albums.
EDIT: Ha, Wylde beat me to it.

'Z' is so great, but I think 'It Still Moves' stands as there grand performance and overall most popular album. I think 'Z' did a fine job of topping it though and I think I'd take 'Z' over it.

Oh, and Devendra Banhart's "Rejoicing In the Hands" or "Nino Rojo". Your choice.
