28. Phoenix: 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix' (V2) - For a band that started life as the backing group for Air in the mid-90s, Phoenix have come along way in the noughties. After three relatively underground releases, the French band's fourth album 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix' brought them into the mainstream in 2009 thanks largely to two infectious singles - 'Lisztomania' and '1901' - which both came dripping in electro pop. The album rooted itself onto the US Billboard album chart upon its release in May and was recently nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. Things for Phoenix, it seems, are only looking one way: up. (Jason Gregory)

- Moderat, Memory Tapes and Vitalic?!! Great list for including those alone
- The Blueprint 3? That is one rubbish album. Shame that Jay Z hasn't made a good album for 8 years.
- Tune-Yards should have been on this list.
- Gotta be the best album list I've read so far!
- bunch of marginally talented hipster douches ruined this list.
YYY and Muse are the only ones worth buying.
