39. Gallows: 'Grey Britain' (Warner Bros.) - After being hyped up to the hilt on their debut album in 2006, 2009 was the year Gallows finally came to the party with their sophomore effort. Easily the most uncompromising and aggressive long player of the year, ‘Grey Britain’ gave punk its edge back with razor sharp guitars and knockout blows like ‘London is the Reason’ and ‘I Dread the Night’. Throw in artwork and vocals so dark they made the recession look like a beach holiday and you have the definitive fuck you album of the year. (Chris Reynolds)

- 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.
