1. Asobi Seksu, largely due to a conversation on here between (I think) Maou and justriingo regarding 'Citrus' (Maou said something like "It's the most consistent album I've heard all year, aside from 2 weak tracks toward the end")
2. Elliot Smith - Just seen his name pop up in quite a lot of places. Checked him out, and I like.
3. Prefab Sprout - A gaming Journalist at 1up.com recommended them as one of the most underrated bands of the 80's. Got their greatest hits. Love it.
4. Veruca Salt - Been listening to some Nina Gordon solo albums for a while, and decided to check out her previous band. Veruca Salt's album 'Eight Arms to Hold You' turned out to be one of the better albums I listened to this year.
5. Rush - I didn't really discover them this year. YYZ was always a favourite on Guitar Hero 2, but this year I decided to get two of their albums and they're brilliant.
6. Jakobínarína - If you like the likes of The Hives, check them out. Really catchy and fun icelandic rock. Discovered them on another forums "Currently listening to" thread.
