Excellent, glad someone else has come back with a list. Will spend the rest of the night at last.fm trying out some of the bands on your list who I have never heard of (which is quite a few ). Don't know how I missed Tunng off my list, it is an excellent album,
Cheers,

Hi acidhead,
Just because you correctly guessed the winner of the Mercury Music Award, no need to rub it in

Nice list!, Love the Goldfrapp and Nick Cave.

Here is a few more that I would add, of course some are more mainstream...

Metallica - Death Magnetic (album of the year in my opinion)
Buckcherry - Black Butterfly
Scars on Broadway - Scars on Broadway
Coldplay -Viva la Vida
Duffy - Rockferry (think this was last year, but it grew in popularity this year)

Don't forget to add "Nostradamus" by Judas Priest, a really great return to form.

Although it is more of a greatest hits, "Live in Gdansk" by David Gilmour is excellent and probably the last by the late great Richard Wright.

I just wrote you about The Gilmour Live in another thread a really super
album by a great songwriter and guitarist.
