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.
