I don't care how badass you are, or how sick of hearing the songs, or how sick you are hearing someone talk about it, The Postal Service ~ Give Up is easily in my top 3 for the decade.

TV on the Radio ~ Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes, too.

I'll add more later, but that one jumped out when I asked myself what albums I listened to exhorbitantly.
