2003 and I could go several ways here

Kings of Leon's out of nowhere masterwork Youth and Young Manhood, The Postal Service's Give Up is a classic imo. I would go Mars Volta Deloused at the Comatomium but they blew that away with Francis the Mute so can't really nominate that. We have a Strokes album again I see, the band that invented the guitar apparently....

Yeah Yeah Yeahs debut Fever to Tell still gets a lot of "airtime" here, never bettered by them. Then there the sublime soul/funk classic Speakerboxx/The Love Below by Outkast

But I'm going left field (again)

The Rapture 'Echoes' - A dance punk masterpiece

[White Riot]

I'll go with Joss Stone - The Soul Sessions

Also decent albums that I played a lot that year were released by The Darkness, Stereophonics, and Muse.
