1. Radiohead "In Rainbows"
2. The Antlers "Hospice"
3. Arcade Fire "Funeral"
4. The National "High Violet"
5. We Were Promised Jetpacks "These Four Walls"

I don't consider Radiohead to really be an indie rock band, but they were mentioned so why not...

These Four Walls was okay. Wouldn't say it's in the top 5.
The sound kind of drones on you after a few listens, Quiet Little Voices and Ships With Holes Will Sink are still quality tracks though.

I think it's an excellent, memorable album throughout. Certainly rough around the edges, but that's part of the appeal for me.

Elephant- White Stripes
Funeral- Arcade Fire
Neon Bible- Arcade Fire
Ys- Joanna Newsom
Kid A- Radiohead
Vespertine- Bjork
Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not- Arctic Monkeys
Fever To Tell- Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Merriweather Post Pavillion- Animal Collective
Bitte Orca- Dirty Projectors

Honorable Mentions:
Is This It?- The Strokes
Silent Shout- The Knife
Vampire Weekend- Vampire Weekend
