Still haven't checked out that Janes record. There is quite a few like that every year, it would make my top 10 or whatever but i didn't get into it until the following year because I was so behind.
Diamond Eyes and The Resistance are prime examples from 2010. They would likely be #3 and 4 if I made my list again.
