45. Interpol: 'Turn on the Bright Lights' (2002) - From opener 'Untitled' all the way through to the album's closing track 'Leif Erikson', Interpol's 2002 debut 'Turn On The Bright Lights' proved to be one of the most magical releases of not only that year, but the entire decade. Praised by critics, the album blended Paul Banks' introspective and dark lyrics with music that was both uplifting and ethereal, often in the course of the same song. For an independent release, 'Turn on the Bright Lights' has sold over 500,000 copies in the US alone, perhaps testament to how damn good it is.

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.
