29. The Streets – ‘Original Pirate Material’ (2002) - While Craig David was too busy making love every fucking day of the week, Mike Skinner was taking control of the mic and changing the face of UK Garage. 'Original Pirate Material', Skinner's debut album, brought us a grittier side of the scene through geezer tales of real street life. The fact the record is slightly unpolished and sounds as if it was recorded in a bedroom only adds to its appeal.

- Absolutely love this list! Although, where are Kaiser Chiefs?
- not good enough really
- Kaiser Chiefs are on our worst albums of the decade countdown
- not enough dance
- I was just thinking about this the other day. Can't argue with most of these although I am missing Beck's Sea Change, Bon Iver and CSS.
