The National – High Violet
Arcade Fire – The Suburbs
Foals – Total Life Forever
Elbow – Build A Rocket Boys
Mumford and Sons- Sign no More
Or prior to this
LCD Soundsystem – Sound Of Silver
Florence & The Machine – Lungs
Damien Rice – O
Bon Iver – For Emma, Forever Ago
Amy Winehouse – Back To Black
Arctic Monkeys – Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not
Queens of the Stone Age- songs for the Deaf
Foo Fighters- In your Honor
Nirvana-Nevermind
The Smiths- The Queen is Dead
The Strokes- Is this it
kings of Leon

Thanks for mentioning Arcade Fire, who really deserve a lot more recognition. I'd agree with most of the stuff on your list exept "Nevermind", but I've moaned enough about that on the album review thread.
And yes, I think Rolling Stone's criteria for great albums are how grossly overplayed they are, how ugly / dead the lead singer is, how much the lead guiterist now sucks, etc, etc ad nausiam.
