No time to dig through my purchases this year but the ones that stand out:
Gavin DeGraw: Chariot & Chariot Stripped (can't get it out of my CD player---He's great live too!)
U2: How to Dismantle...
Better Thank Ezra: Live at the House of Blues
The Killers: Hot Fuss
Nickleback: The Long Road (was that this year?)
Snow Patrol: Final Straw
