13. The Temper Trap: 'Conditions' (Infectious Records) - 2009 was the year The Temper Trap made an indelible mark on the music map both in their native Australia and much further abroad. Slow burners like ‘Love Lost’ and ‘Sweet Disposition’ proved their knack for writing an incredible, gigantic chorus while ‘Fader’ and ‘Science of Fear’ opened the door for a fan following which will swell to the arenas in the next decade. Unafraid to experiment (‘Drum Song’) and go all epic on us (‘Soldier On’), ‘Conditions’ was an album of superlative quality and imagination. (Chris Reynolds)

- 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.
