22. Golden Silvers: 'True Romance' (XL) – Electronic yet melodic, romantic yet frantic, the London four-piece created one of the records of the year hands down. The enchanting piano of ‘Another Universe’ is a delightfully polite introduction to the record, and sculpts the path ahead for tracks like ‘True Romance’ which is uncontrollably catchy, yet has an originality that resonates throughout the album. It is this original ‘Golden-Silvers-Sound’ which makes this record so appealing, up-tempo numbers like ‘Arrows of Eros’ and ‘Magic Touch’ revel in the excitement of youth, yet the mellow ‘Please Venus’ oozes of teenage earnestness. Combine this with the more adult, edgy nature of ‘Shakes’ and Golden Silvers have created a perfectly balanced mishmash of brilliance. (Marzena Dabowska)

- Moderat, Memory Tapes and Vitalic?!! Great list for including those alone
- The Blueprint 3? That is one rubbish album. Shame that Jay Z hasn't made a good album for 8 years.
- Tune-Yards should have been on this list.
- Gotta be the best album list I've read so far!
- bunch of marginally talented hipster douches ruined this list.
YYY and Muse are the only ones worth buying.
