21. Elbow: 'The Seldom Seen Kid' (2008) - Previous releases had hinted at impending greatness for Manchester’s Guy Garvey but it eventually arrived with ‘The Seldom Seen Kid’; an album made without a record contract, without, indeed, much hope at all, made it even more special. Poetically informed by the death of friend Bryan Glancy, the album conveyed humanity at its rawest: hope (‘One Day Like This’), death (‘Friend of Ours’) and fear of corruption (‘The Fix’). Such was the quality of the material that ‘The Seldom Seen Kid’ seemed to end before it had even started.

- 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.
