i would have put Send Away The Tigers by Manic Street Preachers and Rather Ripped by Sonic Youth on.)

Top 20, in reverse order innit:

Reflection Eternal (Taleb Kweli and Hi-Tek) - Train of Thought
Twilight Sad - Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
The Radioheads - Kid A
New Pornos - Twin Cinema
The Strokes - Is This It?
The National - Boxer
GYBE! - Lift Yr Skinny Fists
Hope of the States - Lost Riots
Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose
Avalanches - Since I Left You
Libs - Up The Brackets
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
The Wrens - The Meadowlands (most overlooked album of the decade too going by these lists from your major music publications)
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Delgados - Great Eastern
Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
Modest Mouse - Moon and Antarctica
The National - Alligator (natch)

NME list is perfect for its audience. Can't imagine many would have predicted anything drastically different, and a bit pointless complaining considering most of those who are probably don't read NME.

Just to point out that the list was done via votes from a large panel of musicians, not just NME.

My top few would be

Radiohead - Kid A
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights
Hope Of The States - The Lost Riots
Libertines - Up The Bracket
