Top 10 Albums of 2009?!

Seems a bit early but I've already been asked for my top 10 albums of the year. Here's the 10 I just gave, in no particular order:

Top 10
Metric - Fantasies
St Vincent - Actor
Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus
Idlewild - Post-Electric Blues
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz!
Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse, David Lynch, etc - Dark Night of the Soul Paramore - brand new eyes
Manic Street Preachers - Journal for Plague Lovers
The Veils - Sun Gangs

Still need to investigate a heap of records (loads of suggestions on here I've not heard yet) and still plenty more stuff to be released over the next 6 weeks (pretty much from mid-November albums don't get released cus of christmas nonsense/priorities).
