#1. Of Montreal - Horse & Elephant Eatery (No Elephants Allowed): The Singles & Songles Album
If I'm on one kick right now, it's this band. I've spent the last two years telling everyone within earshot that I'm casting my vote for Of Montreal as my favorite band currently recording, American or no. Athens' Of Montreal consistently mind-meld The Beatles, The Kinks, and Blur into one delicious cesspool of mind-altering lyrics, sugar-coated harmonies, and more key changes than your average Tru-Value hardware store makes in a year. As evidence to their greatness, this record -- despite being a compilation of out-of-print singles, b-sides, and covers - comes across as a more signifigant complete album than most of the records I've listed above. Trust me when I tell you that their new record, due this April, should change the boundaries of time and space for all eternity (or something like that...)
