The National - Boxer
The Walkmen - You and Me
The Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary.

No particular order:

• The Strokes - Is This It
• Arcade Fire - Funeral
• The Black Keys - Brothers
• The Shins - Oh, Inverted World
• Radiohead - In Rainbows

This is SO hard to pick only 5 but...

In Rainbows - Radiohead
Merriweather Post Pavillion - Animal Collective
Illinois - Sufjan Stevens
Hospice - The Antlers
Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene

I love that album! Nice choice :D

A lot of people say it's their least favourite BSS album, and I can kinda see why. It's very sonically dense and a bit more experimental (ie, less accessible) than their other albums, but with enough listens this album becomes amazing.

in no particular order:

The Loon - Tapes 'n Tapes
Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone? - The Unicorns
Apologies to the Queen Mary - Wolf Parade
Oracular Spectacular - MGMT
Everything All the Time - Band of Horses

• The Strokes - Is This It
• Arcade Fire - Funeral
• Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
• The National - High Violet
• The National - Boxer

I can understand Silent Alarm but I thought Intimacy was only so-so.

Perhaps I have misjudged it? Should I re-listen?

Some interesting choices here. I much prefer GIVEN TO THE WILD to COLOUR IT IN though.

Libertines "UP THE BRACKET" though- good call!

Andrew Bird - and the Mysterious Production of Eggs
Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha
Calexico - Carried to Dust
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
Sufjan Stevens - Come on Feel the Illinoise

It's tough to come up with 5, and tough to feel comfortable with what people consider Indie.
