18. The Big Pink: 'A Brief History Of Love' (4AD) – London electro-rock duo Robbie Furze and Milo Corden are that rarest of things – a band who can wow both live and on record. As brutal and apathetic as Jesus and Mary Chain, yet at the same time with a fragile tenderness that captures pithy human emotion in its most simple form. Expansive and diverse, A Brief History Of Love is really a record to lose yourself in. Not even the ubiquitous use of single 'Dominos' on a certain TV advert puts you off. (Jon Bye)

- 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.
