Two Dancers
1.  Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
The list author says:
  "26. British eccentricity at its creative peak. Lightly washed indie-rock with an intelligent, funky heart, Two Dancers is cohesive to the point of suggesting only one. (2009)"
£5.97   Used & New from: £2.84
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (38 customer reviews)

Hospice
2.  Hospice by The Antlers
The list author says:
  "27. Emotive and haunting, Pete Silberman’s falsetto drifts around Hospice like an embracing angel, and with The Antlers’ simple melodies combine to create an effortless beauty. (2009)"
£7.66   Used & New from: £5.41
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (17 customer reviews)

Z
3.  Z by My Morning Jacket
The list author says:
  "28. Operatic vocal over lavishly theatrical alt-country does a peculiar and extremely worthy beast make. Z also spearheaded a very successful resurgence in modern Americana. (2005)"
Used & New from: £7.28

Get Color
4.  Get Color by Health
The list author says:
  "29. Taking the best parts of My Bloody Valentine’s dreamy drone and electrical distortion, Get Color equally thrilled and terrified dancefloors under a banner of “horror-disco". (2009)"
£6.19   Used & New from: £4.89

Flock
5.  Flock by Bell X1
The list author says:
  "30. Preposterous falsetto over Talking Heads rhythms, Ireland’s Bell X1’s third album came from nowhere, later allowing Clap Your Hands Say Yeah to muscle in on a similar market. (2006)"
£6.87   Used & New from: £1.49

XTRMNTR
6.  XTRMNTR by Primal Scream
The list author says:
  "31. Anarchic and destructive, XTRMNTR predicted text-speak and threatened to “kill all hippies”. Along with Screamadelica, this was career defining noise. (2000)"
£4.49   Used & New from: £1.38

Origin Of Symmetry (East West Version)
7.  Origin Of Symmetry (East West Version) by Muse
The list author says:
  "32. When pomp rock was fun Muse dominated. This collection delighted indie kids and rockers alike, propelling Muse onto bigger, but rarely better things. (2001)"
£5.37   Used & New from: £0.54

The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place
8.  The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place by Explosions in the Sky
The list author says:
  "33. Cinematic post-rock which struck with abandon, fragile and powerful. Mogwai must still be kicking themselves. (2003)"
£5.37   Used & New from: £3.98

Bows + Arrows
9.  Bows + Arrows by The Walkmen
The list author says:
  "34. Housing one of the tracks of the decade in the decadent form of “The Rat”, The Walkmen sprung from the cadaver of Jonathan Fire*Eater and into indie rock/punk cultdom with this second LP. (2004)"
Used & New from: £8.49

The Seldom Seen Kid
10.  The Seldom Seen Kid by Elbow
The list author says:
  "35. Coming in from the cold, Elbow stole thousands of Times readers’ hearts with this lush and swelling epic. The Seldom Seen Kid is the sound of deserved success. (2008)"
£5.37   Used & New from: £1.50

Merriweather Post Pavilion
11.  Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
The list author says:
  "36. When experimentalism hit the nail on the head. Harmonies, layering FX, danceable grooves and irrepressible charm – Animal Collective have them all to burn. (2009)"
£5.69   Used & New from: £2.73

The '59 Sound
12.  The '59 Sound by The Gaslight Anthem
The list author says:
  "37. Proof that New Jersey’s finest spawned more than a denim fetish, The Gaslight Anthem have the Boss stamped all over their commercial punk, and it did them the world of good. (2008)"

Youth And Young Manhood
13.  Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
The list author says:
  "38. Young and full of spunk, KOL were sons of a preacher man and wanted to rock ‘n’ roll. These tales of partying, girls, drink and drugs sounded all the better for their Southern gent shtick. (2003)"
£3.49   Used & New from: £0.01

Alight Of Night
14.  Alight Of Night by Crystal Stilts
The list author says:
  "39. Depression never sounded so well-rounded. Taking C86 and the much admired Jesus & Mary Chain catalogue as their impeccable influences, Alight of Night successfully found a middle ground. (2008)"
£8.49   Used & New from: £4.76

Up the Bracket
15.  Up the Bracket by The Libertines
The list author says:
  "40. For a time, the hype lived up to the material. Doherty and Barât sailed their very own good ship Albion first to jangly success, and then to flat-robbing destruction. (2002)"
£6.99   Used & New from: £1.47

The Last Broadcast
16.  The Last Broadcast by Doves
The list author says:
  "41. Would have made the cut even if all the other tracks were laughable, such is the strength of “Pounding”. Luckily, they weren’t. Must be disappointed not to have done “an Elbow”. (2002)"
£4.25   Used & New from: £0.01

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
17.  Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
The list author says:
  "42. When the decade was still coming round to the idea of being good, Wayne Coyne was off in the next, or in one a few years back, reinstating the concept album through summery psych-pop. (2002)"
£5.19   Used & New from: £0.16

Silent Alarm
18.  Silent Alarm by Bloc Party
The list author says:
  "43. Easy to take the Michael out of, but difficult to dislike, Bloc Party’s debut defined 2005’s indie dancefloors and capped a resurgence in angular new-wave post-punk. (2005)"
£6.89   Used & New from: £0.01

No More Shall We Part
19.  No More Shall We Part by Nick Cave
The list author says:
  "44. Cave returned to The Boatman’s Call for inspiration, distilled its spirit and hit gold. Tear-jerking and managed the impossible bringing in religion without lecture. (2001)"
Used & New from: £1.98

Wincing The Night Away
20.  Wincing The Night Away by The Shins
The list author says:
  "45. Successfully carved an indie-rock niche of their own throughout the 00s, culminating in this wide-eyed collection of indie loveliness. (2007)"
£5.77   Used & New from: £3.73

For Emma Forever Ago
21.  For Emma Forever Ago by Bon Iver
The list author says:
  "46. Icy and beyond heartfelt, Justin Vernon accidentally created a masterpiece when he went wandering in the woods with little more than an acoustic, a pickup, a broken heart and a beard. (2008)"
£6.99   Used & New from: £5.72

Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes
22.  Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes by TV on the Radio
The list author says:
  "47. Four afros and Dave Sitek tackle barbershop, with stunning results, laying down a template that was never to be bettered. “Staring At The Sun” weighing in as one of tracks of the decade. (2004)"

SEVEN SWANS
23.  SEVEN SWANS by Sufjan Stevens
The list author says:
  "48. Often overlooked in favour of Illinoise, Seven Swans is a gentle and touching paean to the singer-songwriter and his craft. (2004)"

The Ugly Organ
24.  The Ugly Organ by Cursive
The list author says:
  "49. The best thing on Saddle Creek except Oberst himself, their alt-rock sounded different because it was, both explosive and pensive, and all delivered in that identifiable Omaha drawl. (2003)"
£12.31   Used & New from: £9.33

Everything All The Time
25.  Everything All The Time by Band of Horses
The list author says:
  "50.  Ignited a renewed interest in Americana when My Morning Jacket had previously set the ball rolling. The sound of that 66 road trip you want to take and the American Dream at large. (2007)"
£7.19   Used & New from: £4.50
