Nice to see someone mention these guys, I love 'em. If the album had come out this year (over here) it would be on my list.
I really don't see why people keep rating 'With Teeth', I didn't think it was a very good album at all. Maybe he's just got into the 'fart into a mic and it will sell' stage of his career.
These have mostly been listed already but some of my favs are-
Bright Eyes (DADU more than the other but both are good)
LCD Soundsystem
Deathcab For Cutie
Tom Vek

That's pretty much how it struck me. After waiting 5 years for him to not release anything as awful as the Fragile ever again, I actually found myself liking The Fragile in comparison. It's just boring nu-metal really. Ugh.
Paper Beats Rock:
My God. WHAT is wrong you? The Fragile is an awesome album, I love it. First disc more than the second but I think they both have some very, very strong songs on them.
nescience:
Barring the release of a late gem (and very little of value is released in the last two weeks of the year anyway), here is my top 29. There are 29 because I was supposed to make a top 25 for work, but I felt bad for leaving the last four off the list (even though by definition I do not enjoy them as much as the higher-ranked titles). This was an interesting year in music.

29. Sigur Ros - Takk...
28. Mommy and Daddy - Duel at Dawn
27. Edan - Beauty and the Beat
26. Caribou - The Milk Of Human Kindness
25. Broken Social Scene - S/T
24. Nine Horses - Snow Borne Sorrow
23. The Pernice Brothers - Discover a Lovelier You
22. Tujiko Noriko - Blurred in my mirror
21. Animal Collective - Feels
20. Out Hud - Let Us Never Speak of it Again
19. Lightning Bolt - Hypermagic Mountain

(edit:ins)15. Aoki Takamasa + Tujiko Noriko - 28

BS: Dara, you should definitely give more of a listen to Blurred in my Mirror. It is a great direction for Tujiko. I myself just got 28 yesterday, having patiently waited for a copy to finally show up in my friendly neighborhood Amoeba, and after the first couple listens I think I may have to generate a top 30. Still looking for the Riow Arai record. Big year for Tujiko!
willeh:
65 Days of Static - One Time For All Time
Sigur Ros - Takk
I quite like the new Death Cab album...but not top 5 material as yet.
