1. Ex Hex - Rips
2. Freeman - FREEMAN
3. The Both - The Both
4. The War on Drugs - Lost in the Dream
5. Against Me! - Transgender Dysphoria Blues
6. Spoon - They Want My Soul

25. The Afghan Whigs - Do to the Beast

A couple of unexpected entries near the top: FREEMAN (which I've never heard of until this moment) is a solo album by Aaron Freeman, a/k/a Gene Ween; and The Both is the unlikely collaboration between Aimee Mann and Ted Leo.

Cool choice for number one, that album deserves some love.
