First I have to talk about remix albums. Beck Gameboy Variations was the first real remix that I liked this year. With the release of Guero came GameBoy Variations (Hell Yes Remix) - EP in February and also Guerolito just recently. The Gameboy variations in my opinion are much superior to the others.
Another Great remix album has to be Bloc Party's Silent Alarm Remixed. I enjoyed the original album very much and this just makes a great addition to Bloc Party's track listings. Although I don't really think releasing remixes as albums makes much sense this is what would make me actually buy one.
Mike Jones also had his album out this year and they put out the Screwed and Chopped version of it. Very fun stuff, but then again I like Mike Jones.(Insert "Who?" here)
