33. Eminem: 'Relapse' (Interscope) – Murder, celebrity baiting and tales of drug abuse - yes, 2009 saw the welcome return of Eminem with ‘Relapse’, his first studio album since 2004’s ‘Encore’. Produced by long-time collaborator Dr Dre (who also appears on two of the album’s 22 songs), the record venomously tracked the reason behind Eminem’s withdrawal from music (drugs) through to his salvation (rehab). And amid all that Eminem unleashed fabulous tales about everything from serial killers to rundown mental asylums, and took yet more pops at his all time favourite enemies - his mother and the late Christopher Reeve. Stay tuned for the album’s sequel ‘Relapse 2’ next year. (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.
