24. Passion Pit: 'Manners' (Columbia) – After creating their fair share of hype with 2008’s ‘Chunk Of change EP’, Passion Pit’s full-length debut ‘Manners’ arrived with a mixture of hope and anticipation upon its release in May. Thankfully, it didn’t disappoint either. Despite frontman Michael Angelakos’s tendency to sound like a prepubescent adolescent, ‘Manners’’ succulent melodies and catchy riffs made it an exhilarating listen - and one which managed to effortlessly combine euphoria with the occasional down-tempo moment. You can’t argue that the Massachusetts band didn’t deliver when it really mattered. (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.
