my favourites would be

Hell Is For Heroes
Biffy Clyro
Happylife
Pitchshifter
Soulwax

And my favourites of the year, in addition to the above would be:

Bloc Party
Futureheads
Editors
LCD Soundsystem
Arcade Fire

Plus I'm hopingt that Santa delivers the albums by Nine Black Alps, Maximo Park, Art Brut and The Rakes.

All in all, a pretty bloody good year for music. Plus the return of Embrace, which is all good.
