Alegranza
3.  Alegranza by El Guincho

Vampire Weekend
5.  Vampire Weekend by Vampire Weekend
The list author says:
  "Probably the album on this list EVERYBODY should love. If you don't smile, you don't have a soul. Paul Simon eat-your-heart-out."

LP3
6.  LP3 by Ratatat
The list author says:
  "Brilliant. The BEST Ratatat album - the first two seeming pretty weak, and not much like an album at all. But this one rivals even Hot Chip!"
£6.49   Used & New from: £2.52

Antidotes (Cd Album)
7.  Antidotes (Cd Album) by Foals
The list author says:
  "Brilliant. Imagine if Bloc Party were obsessed with Battles and Don Caballero, or obscure post-punk New York bands like Liquid Liquid and ESG. I hope the follow up is an improvement though."
£3.99   Used & New from: £1.19
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (34 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Sea Lion
8.  Sea Lion by The Ruby Suns
The list author says:
  "Still need to get myself a copy of this - brilliant band from New Zealand, fronted by a Californian. Experimental stuff, but not quite Gang Gang Dance or Telepathe, think more Architecture in Helsinki"
£5.99   Used & New from: £2.99

Made In The Dark
9.  Made In The Dark by Hot Chip
The list author says:
  "Excellent. Haven't really listened to this album for a while, but I saw them live earlier in the year and they rival even The Rapture and LCD Soundsystem in my books. Their second best effort."
£23.94   Used & New from: £0.01

Fantasy Black Channel
10.  Fantasy Black Channel by Late of the Pier
The list author says:
  "Been a favourite of mine since 2005, but they should really write some new material - despite this being incredible, I've heard the same tracks for 3 years now. Fingers crossed a second album?"
£10.37   Used & New from: £2.87

Workout Holiday
11.  Workout Holiday by White Denim
The list author says:
  "Found this band being compared to Black Lips, so gave them a try - absolutely brilliant. This is how Kings of Leon should have sounded if they hadn't turned so indie and prettyboy..."
£5.00   Used & New from: £2.50

One Day As A Lion
12.  One Day As A Lion by One Day as a Lion
The list author says:
  "Technically not an album, but I felt I should mention it seeing as it's a two man band of RATM's de la Rocha and ex-Mars Volta Jon Theodore. Intense!"
£6.94   Used & New from: £4.60

The Bedlam in Goliath
13.  The Bedlam in Goliath by The Mars Volta
The list author says:
  "Second best Mars Volta album, best since Frances the Mute in my opinion. The most furious drums you will ever hear from these guys, definately a favourite."
£5.49   Used & New from: £3.94

Dear Science
14.  Dear Science by TV on the Radio
The list author says:
  "A strange funky direction for TV On The Radio, but I like it. Probably a grower, but I can tell it's lovely already."

Modern Guilt
15.  Modern Guilt by Beck
The list author says:
  "Same for Beck - probably a grower. Probably one of his most varied albums, but definately an interesting change after The Information."

Twenty One
16.  Twenty One by Mystery Jets
The list author says:
  "A lovely album by some lovely guys. Not as great as the first album, but a cleaner production sound (from my favourite producer/DJ, Erol Alkan, who also did the LOTP album), and an 80's electro twist."
£9.05   Used & New from: £5.00

Flight Of The Conchords
17.  Flight Of The Conchords by Flight of the Conchords
The list author says:
  "You need this, as well as the DVD series. Superior to The Mighty Boosh or any other music/comedy duo sitcom. Murray (Rhys Darby) is excellent in 'Leggy Blonde', and don't miss 'Bowie'."
£8.89   Used & New from: £2.78

Fun DMC
18.  Fun DMC by People Under The Stairs
The list author says:
  "If hip-hop is more your thing try these guys, they're similar to Jurassic 5, Ugly Duckling, Dilated Peoples, and the Native Tongues sound - old school hip-hop, done the old school way."
£12.01   Used & New from: £4.98

Welcome to the Jang House
19.  Welcome to the Jang House by Plastic Little
The list author says:
  "Woah I've just heard bits of this and it's incredible. I think Diplo and Hervé are involved, and so is MC Spank Rock. These are some good tunes - if you like it try Cool Kids too!"
£3.00   Used & New from: £1.48

Black Diamond
20.  Black Diamond by Buraka Som Sistema
The list author says:
  "Buraka Entra! These guys are groundbreaking - mixing breakbeat, electro, Kuduro (Angola), baile funk (Brazil)...it's all there! Also features MIA, Kano and others but most vocals are in Portuguese!"
£6.37   Used & New from: £4.66
