17. HEALTH: 'Get Color' (Lovepump United) – Their second album saw HEALTH stepped out of the shadow of those Crystal Castles collaborations and showed the world what they could do. It’s a sheer adrenaline rush of an album, with punk rock guitars, furious synth stabs and vocals sounding like they have been recorded at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean creating an overall futuristic sense of an apocalypse that you can dance to. In ‘Die Slow’ there is a sense of urgency leading up to a genuine crossover moment, the LA noiseniks inviting the world to come in and close the door behind them. Almost difficult to believe but it sounded like Lightening Bolt with Animal Collective sized tunes. Glorious noise! (Paul Reed)

- 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.
