26. The Low Anthem: 'Oh My God, Charlie Darwin' (Bella Union) - The Low Anthem take the trend for thrift store chic to its ultimate conclusion. With instruments that look like they were found gathering dust in a dark corner of some long-abandoned warehouse, and dressed in clothes that make Huckleberry Finn look expensively attired, they have managed to assemble a collection of the year’s most haunting, heart-rending melodies, thrown in a couple of straw-in-the-mouth, sawdust-on-the-floor, rocking hoedown numbers, and put them all onto an album that is capable of leaving you speechless every time you hear it.

- 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.
