Ben's non-SA acts of the decade 2000 - 2009

Since last year I've been working on a list of my favorite albums from this past decade. Trying to decide which TV on the Radio album is better than the next was just becoming a headache, so instead I've decided to just make a list of my top acts of the decade.

Even arranging this list was kinda silly. Can I really say I loved Beulah more than Belle and Sebastian? Not really but i did anyway.

The positioning of the acts is pretty much based around quantity x quality. Life Without Buildings beat the crap out of everything because although they only had a quantity of 1 album, the quality is so absurdly awesome it beats even the massive quantity of high quality that Liars churned out over the course of the decade.
