Alt-J - An Awesome Wave (2012)
A fantastic album. It took me a while to get it, though.

Waxahatchee - American Weekend (2012)
A strong contender for my top 5. The music is raw and kept simple, the production is lo-fi, and the songs are intimate and surprisingly catchy.

John Grant - Queen Of Denmark (2010)
Definitely my number one on Friday. It's one of my favourite albums of this century. John Grant's songs are great as always; the tasteful arrangements by him and his backing band Midlake make it perfect.

Jack White - Blunderbuss (2012)
Jack White's debut album is a natural continuation of his band career with the White Stripes. The music is more varied than before, but fortunately he has not abandoned his roots rock principles (i.e., no unnecessary "modern" experiments).

Caroline Keating - Silver Heart (2012)
For fans of Regina Spektor. I'm one of them, and Caroline Keating obviously is too. The album is good, but unfortunately her voice and singing style sound too much like our idol's.

Sam Lee - Ground Of Its Own (2012)
Traditional British folk music. As far as I know, Sam Lee is to British music what Ry Cooder is to American music. He explores the musical roots and preserves them through slightly modern interpretations.

Keston Cobblers' Club - One, For Words (2012)
Does anybody know this band? I saw them live when the record came out, but haven't followed their career since then. They make a kind of traditional folk music with pop melodies and use a variety of instruments.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood (1983)
Blues was out of fashion back then. With this brilliant album and thanks to the support of David Bowie, who saw him at a festival in 1982 and then asked him to play lead guitar on Let's Dance, Vaughan initiated a blues rock revival.

Marillion - Script For A Jester's Tear (1983)
An essential neo-prog album, which is often compared to the early Genesis albums. I like it a lot and will probably choose it.

I'm not sure yet which albums will make it into my top 5 tomorrow. This album will certainly be one of them. It must have a deeper quality, because I like it more with every listen.
