Papa was a Rodeo and Busby Berkeley Dreams are roughly the 9th and 22nd best songs on that album imo. Also I would add Let Your Earthquake Baby by The Thermals, Predatory Wasp... by Sufjan Stevens, Lysergic Bliss by Of Montreal, Mass Romantic by The New Pornographers, and Our Coastal Hymm by Les Savy Fav off the top of my head. Awesome list anyway.
