13. Fleet Foxes: 'Fleet Foxes' (2008) - In 2008 the whole music community went suitably rustic as the beardy Fleet Foxes ditched their razors for platinum records and took the world by (gentle) storm. Their self-titled debut album is a harmonious acoustic lullaby inspired by golden oldies like Crosby, Stills and Nash as well as The Beach Boys that thanks to their now iconic vocal harmonies has a unique edge. Taking the template laid by the likes of Midlake and My Morning Jacket this young Seattle band took the alt. Americana sound to the masses and created a classic album for modern times.

- 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.
