For me it would be:

The Arcade Fire: Funeral

Wilco: YHF

The Slip: Angels Come On Time

Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense

Joni Mitchell: Blue

The Slips Sirius set seems to find it's way into the player quite often too.

I go through phases of not listening to any music, however I love this album:

Rocket From The Tombs - The Day The Earth Met Rocket From The Tombs ( seminal 70's proto-punk band )

However, just this morning, I listened to songs from bands I've never listened to before, and I loved what I heard:

Luna ( rock that leans towards The Velvet Underground meets Television )

Birddog ( earthy dark folk ala My Morning Jacket )

The Capitol Years ( folk/garage rock - some songs are compared to The Grateful Dead )

Blue Rodeo - Are You Ready

How is that? I've been thinking about buying it. I picked up Keelor's solo album. There's some really good heart-felt songwriting on that CD. The production quality leaves a little to be desired but it almost helps to validate the emotions it's expressing.

Bill Frisell - Nashville

Matt Mays + El Torpedo

Gomez - Split The Difference

Nick Drake - Pink Moon

Blue Rodeo - Are You Ready

As for the Blue Rodeo, Willy, it's pretty good overall. The first 4 tracks are great; followed by 2 really slow songs that do nothing for me; followed by a handful of typical sounding Blue Rodeo songs. The second last track is a fantastic, dark, Keelor song with trumpet and him just givin'er on vocals.
