8. Fever Ray: 'Fever Ray' (Rabid) – The big question when Karin Dreijer announced her solo plans at the start of 2009 was whether, without her brother Olaf, she would could possibly match the aural majesty of The Knife. Testament to her musical talents, however, Karin crafted a stunning work that comfortably rubs shoulders with the zeitgeist-defining 'Silent Shout'. From the opening claustrophobia of 'If I Had A Heart' to the euphoric, panpipe-tooting 'Keep The Streets Empty For Me', 'Fever Ray' is more organic and freer than the delicious electronic clamour of The Knife's recent material and is the sound of a musical genius in her element.

- 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.
