Liver! Lung! Fr!
4.  Liver! Lung! Fr! by Frightened Rabbit

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Hombre Lobo
9.  Hombre Lobo by Eels

4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (24 customer reviews)

In The Court Of The Wrestling Lets
11.  In The Court Of The Wrestling Lets by Let's Wrestle

Oh My God, Charlie Darwin

Wilco (the album)
13.  Wilco (the album) by Wilco
The list author says:
  "Wilco (the band) give us their 7th studio album, Wilco (the album), which kicks off in grand style with opening track Wilco (the song). Confused?"

4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

Major General
14.  Major General by Franz Nicolay
The list author says:

2.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

The Hazards Of Love
15.  The Hazards Of Love by The Decemberists

4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (45 customer reviews)

Noble Beast
16.  Noble Beast by Andrew Bird

£15.05   Used & New from: £7.23
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

To Be Still
17.  To Be Still by Alela Diane

£4.99   Used & New from: £3.99
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (14 customer reviews)

BORN LIKE THIS
18.  BORN LIKE THIS by MF Doom
The list author says:
  "DOOM may have dropped the MF, but he hasn't lost any of his skill or wit along with it. Ignore everything you've heard on daytime Radio 1; THIS is real hip hop."

4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Mean Everything To Nothing
19.  Mean Everything To Nothing by Manchester Orchestra

In This Light and on This Evening
20.  In This Light and on This Evening by Editors
The list author says:
  "Long awaited (by me at least) 3rd album from Editors. Tom Smith's incredible voice has never sounded as powerful as it does here over analogue synths and tight rhythms. A great step forward."
£16.33   Used & New from: £2.98
3.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (63 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Eskimo Snow
21.  Eskimo Snow by Why

£9.66   Used & New from: £3.84

Nothing Gold Can Stay
22.  Nothing Gold Can Stay by The Duke & the King
The list author says:
  "Soulful and tender album from Simone Felice of the Felice Brothers. Doesn't quite have the raw bite that makes his original band so extraordinary, but a good album non the less."
£14.36   Used & New from: £4.94
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

Monsters Of Folk
23.  Monsters Of Folk by Monsters of Folk
The list author says:

4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Where the Wild Things Are Motion Picture Soundtrack:  Original Songs by Karen O and The Kids
24.  Where the Wild Things Are Motion Picture Soundtrack: Original Songs by Karen O and The Kids by Karen O
The list author says:
  "Fantastic soundtrack from Ms O and her little ones. Really raw; employing acoustic guitars, soft pianos and ramshackle percussion. Really fun (All Is Love), really heartfelt (Worried Shoes)."
£4.99   Used & New from: £3.72
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)
