Good List. I definitely agree with your top 3. I would probably put A.C. Newman in there somewhere
This would be my list. Strange how similar it is. Being roomates might have something to do with it.

I stand corrected. Slow Wonder by A.C. Newmand was an '04 release. A little behind on that one, but a kick ass album. It's a shame we still haven't heard the Rogue Wave album.
EXCELLENT list. Im right there with you on most of these.
