1. Love – Forever Changes (Rhino)

   Rhino’s new two-disk expanded reissue cannot be recommended highly enough. What makes the album all the more remarkable is that Arthur Lee was all of 22 when he created his masterwork.

2. Readymade – On Point and Red (Endearing)
3. For Against – Shade Side, Sunny Side (Words on Music)
4. Blonde Redhead – 23 (4AD)
5. Robert Wyatt – Shleep (Hannibal)
6. Big Dipper – Supercluster—The Big Dipper Anthology (Merge)
7. Slowdive – Just for a Day (Capitol)
8. The Muttonbirds – Envy of Angels (Virgin)
9. New Pornographers – Challengers (Matador)
10. Sloan – Never Hear the End of It (Yep Roc)
