I didn't even know they had a new one out until you mentioned it. Just downloaded it though and am looking forward to giving it a listen.

I'll see you dead for besmirching the good name of Hellhammer. I suggest you don't sleep tonight.

This is really hard, and I couldn't limit myself to one in almost any case, so these lists are a mess.

Artists:
#: 16 Horsepower
A: Aesop Rock/Andrew Jackson Jihad/The Antlers
B: Big Star/The Band/Billy Bragg/Blur/Bjork/David Bowie
C: Cloud Nothings/Elvis Costello/Nick Cave
D: Destroyer/The Divine Comedy/Drive-By Truckers
E: Echo and the Bunnymen
F: ****ed Up
G: Galaxie 500/Gang of Four/Godspeed You! Black Emperor
H: The Hold Steady
I: Interpol
J: The Jam/The Jayhawks/Jethro Tull
K: The Kinks/Kraftwerk
L: LCD Soundsystem/The Lucksmiths/Ted Leo
M: Modest Mouse/Mogwai/The Mountain Goats/Massive Attack
N: The National
O: Old 97's
P: Pink Floyd/Pixies/The Pogues/Pulp/Public Enemy
Q:
R: Radiohead/REM/The Replacements/The Rolling Stones
S: Bruce Springsteen/Spiritualized/The Smiths/Sonic Youth/Spoon/The Stone Roses/Superchunk (best letter)
T: Talking Heads/Television/TV on the Radio/Tindersticks/Titus Andronicus
U: Uncle Tupelo/Unrest
V: Violent Femmes
W: The Who/Wilco/Tom Waits
X: X
Y: Yo La Tengo
Z: The Zombies

Albums:
#: #1 Record (Big Star) - close one over 13 by Blur
A: Abattoir Blues (Nick Cave) - another close one, over Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! by GY!BE
B: Born to Run (Bruce Springsteen) - I know you guys hate Springsteen, but the ones that were close (the Band's s/t, Wilco's Being There, etc.) just cannot beat Born to Run for me, and it's only my third-favorite of his albums.
C: Crazy Rhythms (The Feelies)
D: I cannot make up my mind between the two best DBT albums, Different Class, The Decline of British Sea Power, Dear Science, Doolittle, and Darkness on the Edge of Town.
E: Exile on Main Street (The Rolling Stones) just barely beats out Evol, Exile in Guyville, Entertainment!, and Exile on Coldharbour Lane.
F: From Her to Eternity (Nick Cave) or Fear of Music (Talking Heads).
G: Get Happy (Elvis Costello)
H: Hospice (The Antlers), Homogenic (Bjork), Hollywood Town Hall (The Jayhawks), Hissing Fauna Are You The Destroyer (Of Montreal), Hex Enduction Hour, High Violet, Hardcore Will Never Die But You Will, Heartbreaker, Hail to the Thief... I don't even know.
I: I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One (YLT) or It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (Public Enemy)
J:
K: Kid A (Radiohead)
L: Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space (Spiritualized) is my favorite album of all time this week, so of course it wins, but that's really a ridiculously strong letter.
M: Murmur or My Aim is True
N: Nebraska (Bruce Springsteen) - and now we get to my favorite of his. None Shall Pass (Aesop Rock) is not very close behind.
O: Odessey and Oracle, Ocean Rain, OK Computer - I can't choose.
P: Pet Sounds, obvs
Q: Quadrophenia or The Queen is Dead
R: Reckoning (REM)
S: s/t (The Smiths), Something Else (The Kinks), Setting Sons (The Jam), The Shape of Punk to Come (Refused) Sound of Silver (LCD Soundsystem), Station to Station (David Bowie), Streethawk (Destroyer), Surfer Rosa (Pixies) - sorry as always
T: Tallahassee (The Mountain Goats), Tender Prey (Nick Cave), Too Far to Care (Old 97's)
U: Unknown Pleasures (Joy Division)
V: Veedon Fleece (Van Morrison)
W: What's Going On (Marvin Gaye)
X:
Y: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (Wilco), Young Team (Mogwai), Ys (Joanna Newsom)
Z:
