My top ten in random order (For the sake of argument, I will exclude Sting's new album)
 
Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
White Stripes - Elephant
Stokes - Room on Fire
Grandaddy - Sumday
Outkast - The Love Below (haven't listened to the second CD any)
Barenaked Ladies - Everything to Everyone
Guster - Keep it Together
 
Gosh....I just realized that I didn't buy that many new CDs this year.  I can't even make a top 10.  I bought a lot of CDs, but they were just CDs I had wanted for awhile, so I was really catching up on lost CDs.  Well, I'll throw in Sting just to make it a top 8.  That makes me sad....
