Usually I struggle to find 5 albums that I really really love but this year I can think of more than 10 and I've not even finished listening to them all yet.
From your list I second HMHB, Art Brut and Metronomy. And probably Thee Faction although I've not heard it all the way through yet. And I've not heard the Kate Bush one at all yet! & indeed lots of others you mention. But I will, & will release my "best of" after the new year. I have to cos I'm saving KB and The Fall for Christmas...
not a vintage year?
