FWIW I could have easily put Fishscale and maybe even Pretty Toney on there, but Supreme Clientele is already there and I wanted to give some other rappers some shine. I know I have 2 albums each from Daft Punk and Radiohead, but in both cases they seem like such different records, both essential in their own way. I think LCD SS deserves a spot too, but I couldn't decide on one. I think 43:55 is my favorite, but it doesn't seem like enough of an ALBUM, y'know?

the Coup album is a nice (and unexpected) pick.

Man I want to make a singles list, but it's gonna be so tough! There are just a ridiculous number of songs I love from the last 10 years, just in hip hop alone! Not nearly as easy to quantify as albums IMO.
Likely my top pick though, a true all-time incredible classic, is "Le Retournille" by Sébastien Tellier. I hope it gets its due on the ILX poll (was it even on the Pitchfork list at all?)

Messed up. Richard Hawley's disc is Cole's Corner (The Ocean is the first single from it). What a fantastic disc, especially as summer fades into autumn.
