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.
