38. Major Lazer: 'Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do' (Downtown) - Major Lazer, the fictional animated character created by producers Diplo and Switch, burst onto the scene in 2009 with his debut 'Guns Don't Kill People...Lazers Do'. Recorded alongside local artists (and Santigold and Amanda Blank) at Tuff Gong studios in Jamaica, the heavily dancehall influenced album spawned a series of emphatic and infectious singles, including 'Hold The Line' and 'Pon de Floor'. Created with the dancefloor in mind, 'Guns Don't Kill...' was further enhanced by Major Lazer's thirst to travel around on a rocket-powered hoverboard. (We're not joking.) (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.
