It's at the El Mocambo actually,

Best album of the year
Every song is instantly memorable. So many great choruses.

Where should I start?
Never heard his music, besides his contribution to the Dark Night of The Soul comp, which was pretty great. What album do I need to download?

Lack of Jason Lytle
The lack of Jason Lytle/Grandaddy albums in year/decade end lists is god-damned confounding. His 2009 album "Yours Truly, The Commuter" is great, and pretty much every Grandaddy album was amazing. Please explain!

Some notable omissions.
I'm generally not one to comment on lists, but I'm shocked that the below albums didn't make the top 50 or even this 'orphans' list.
