Sorry M83 - Saturdays = Youth, but Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition is a modern classic.

Saturdays = Youth < Atrocity Exhibition
Magnolia Electric Co. < La revancha del tango
El Moodio > Become Ocean
Resurrection Los Vol. 1 > Forbidden Planet

Possibly voting against some of the more interesting choices, but I enjoyed the winners more. I was especially appreciative of El Moodio this week on re-listen.
