Tom Petty's Highway Companion (2008 i think?) was incredible. instant classic that was probably overlooked/unnoticed by many. he's got a new one coming soon too.
there's an album by a band called Portugal the Man. album is called Satanic Satanist... now it's now speedmetal, it's actually kinda Beatlesque modern/alternative rock. just instantly likeable and addictive.
the new SPOON album is definitely good too.
2 albums by a band called Frightened Rabbit (weird name, i know).... but both Winter of Mixed Drinks and Midnight Organ Fight are great albums.
on the hip-hop tip:
of course Mos Def is the man.
cant wait for that new Roots album.
MethodMan, Ghostface and Raekwon just put out an album. short, but really good.
Raekwon's Cuban Linx 2 was/is awesome.
and for all you Wu fans... one little gem that got lost in the flood of solo albums over the years: Masta Killah's No Said Date is really really good.

I must be getting old because the only name I knew was Tom Petty and it would not surprise me if someone said "No the other Tom Petty".
