In Rainbows - Radiohead. I know it came out at the end of 2007, but I didn't start listening to it until the Spring and I saw them perform songs from it this summer. It renewed my faith in Radiohead.

Vampire Weekend - I haven't like a new band this much in a long time.

Neptune City - Nicole Atkins and the Sea. There are probably plenty of records that could be ahead of this, but I love the record and I've listen to it constantly. She's also great live.
