Well, the year's almost over and I'm trying hard not to discover more new stuff so here's what I found so far:
Big Big Train
Garbarek, Anja
Flood
Gorishankar, The
Rhodes, Happy

Just five.  Picking out a biggest will be hard.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I'd have to say The Zombies-"Odessey and Oracle" is a masterpiece that I took far, far too long to get around to listening to.

I really got into Arcade Fire this year. I'd known of them before, but I didn't really listen to them until this year. 

It's POSSIBLE that I learned of Woven Hand this year but I can't recall. If so, they're a huge discovery.

I really got into Tom Waits this year, but I knew of him before. 

Sun Kil Moon and Red House Painters were HUGE discoveries for me. 

Grinderman was a nice find, but I knew of them before, I just never listened to them. 

That's all I can think of.

Klaatu and Roy Harper, two immensely dissimilar artists that make me immensely happy.  I'm having difficulty remembering how I lived my life before I had MagentaLane, Hope, and Folkjokeopus.

Also, I just found out that I love Colosseum.  More to follow.  Hopefully.

Sigur Ros - Ágætis byrjun
 
As I wrote the review here, it's very impressed and let me weep like the wave of album.


This was my biggest discovery for last year :)

This time it will be Victor Wooten - The Show of Hands
