9. Royksopp: 'Junior' (Wall Of Sound) – In retrospect, one could argue that Royksopp were electronic music’s most consistent album band in the noughties. After the commercial-friendliness of their debut ‘Melody AM’ in 2001 and 2005’s ‘The Understanding’, the Norwegian duo rounded of the decade in style with ‘Junior’ - a pulsating collection of effortless underground electronica which featured dramatic guest appearances from Robyn, Lykke Li and Karin Dreijer Andersson. In an age of single downloads, ‘Junior’ was a genuine album record - and one that has stayed on the Gigwise office playlist ever since it first arrived. (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.
