    We have two in common, Björk and Sufjan Stevens. I LOVE Where The Sky Hangs by Passion Pit, but the rest of the album didn't do it for me. Thanks for telling me about Sundfør, I really like "Fade Away"

    1. Toto XIV by Toto
    2. Currents by Tame Impala
    3. Why Make Sense? by Hot Chip
    4. Vulnicura by Björk
    5. Carrie & Lowell by Sufjan Stevens
    6. Currency of Man by Melody Gardot
    7. Lost River (soundtrack) by Various Artists
    8. Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance by Belle And Sebastian

      Where the Sky Hangs just missed my song list, and I could probably list ANY track from Sundfør's album, so it's awesome that you like "Fade Away" so much. :)

      I still need to check out Currents and Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance. I LOVE Melody Gardot, but I haven't listened to Currency of Man yet, as I was a little underwhelmed by her last album and I wasn't sure COM would even make first top 10 list.

      I liked "Mira" from Gardot's The Absence (2012), but yeah, the album overall was forgettable. Currency of Man (2015) has been described as a protest album, and there's some strong tracks.
      Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance is a mixed bag, a few songs here and there I really like on that disc.

      Thanks! Ha, I mostly listen to pop and alternative, but I'm glad you like my list. ;) Hope you like Ten Love Songs!

      Love your list! I'm definitely going to check out How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful again, since I was underwhelmed on a first listen.

      LOL, I love Ceremonials and Lungs, but How Big... didn't impress me on a first listen. I'll give it another chance, though.
