My top five
1. Wake up-Arcade Fire
2 When the Sun goes down -Arctic Monkeys
3. Chicago- Sufjan Stevens.
4. Take you on a cruise- Interpol
5. Ghost in this house- The Immediate

The Postal Service - Such Great Heights

The Postal Service's version 'Such Great Heights' wasn't even the best version of that song, never mind track of the decade.

Yes I agree that Radiohead set very high standards and Okay Computer one of the all time great albums.

Nice! Can download KHW album for free off their website - http://www.ketchharbourwolves.ca/

They're a small band from Canada, never toured in Europe. Not sure how I even found them! Sparklehorse are easier to find.. Get Dreamt for Lightyears.. or It's a Wonderful life if ya want to listen to them. My favourite albums of his. Older stuff is good too though!

Ye i barely ever listen to it anymore which is strange coz it seems like the kind of thing that would resonate more. I'm sure i'll forget about it and rediscover it in years to come.

There There - Radiohead is getting loads of votes!! Glad to see that:)
