10. Volume One / She & Him

The D Man has a little thing for actress Zooey Deschanel. But who knew the chick from Elf would write and record one of the best albums of the year? Teaming up with indie artist M. Ward, She & Him combines Deschanel's lovely tenor with perfect throwback arrangements produced by Ward. With the warmth and charm of genres past, She & Him could be mistaken for a tribute band. But Deschanel's stellar songwriting would stand out in any era.
