Life in Cartoon Motion
1.  Life in Cartoon Motion by Mika
The list author says:
  "Go on. Admit it. He's IRRESISTIBLE (Even if you hate the Bee Gees). Sharp and soppy by turn, it's  the sort of  album that makes you dance around on your own and feel better about the world."

Strawberry Jam
2.  Strawberry Jam by Animal Collective
The list author says:
  "This one grows and grows - or should that be spreads and spreads? Like wandering around in a deliriously happy musical daze, with the occasional car crash thrown in."
£7.00   Used & New from: £4.22

Apples
3.  Apples by June Tabor

Person Pitch
4.  Person Pitch by Panda Bear
The list author says:
  "Sounds like the Beach Boys on...  well, something even the great Brian Wilson didn't ingest. A fabulously layered wall of sound. Best Album by Man in Bear Suit."
£6.89   Used & New from: £4.95

Versatile Heart
5.  Versatile Heart by Linda Thompson
The list author says:
  "The Linda Thompson comeback marches triumphantly on. How did we manage without her? Rufus Wainwright writes her another great song ('Beauty'), while 'Day After Tomorrow' is the year's Best Cover."
£11.26   Used & New from: £3.86

The Adventures Of Ghosthorse And Stillborn
7.  The Adventures Of Ghosthorse And Stillborn by CocoRosie
The list author says:
  "Starting with a sort of reggae number, this is the Cassadys' most accessible album yet. 'Japan'  is positively Sing-along-a-CocoRosie. Still bonkers, of course. Thank God."
£6.99   Used & New from: £5.69

Armchair Apocrypha
8.  Armchair Apocrypha by Andrew Bird
The list author says:
  "The most beautiful album artwork of the year, and another excellent set of songs from Mr Bird. 'Yawny at the Apocalypse' is the year's Best (and Best-Titled) Instrumental Number."
£11.83   Used & New from: £8.00

A Weekend in the City
9.  A Weekend in the City by Bloc Party
The list author says:
  "Intelligent, touching and beautifully performed. 'Do You Remember' is a heartbreaking  'if only' song, a match for the wonderful 'This Modern Love' on Silent Alarm."
£4.61   Used & New from: £0.01

Fur and Gold
10.  Fur and Gold by Bat for Lashes
The list author says:
  "Debut of the Year.  Some artists really do arrive fully formed: just listen to 'Bat's Mouth' . Marvellously varied songs. Admired by Bjork, and no wonder."
£3.79   Used & New from: £1.99

The Magic Position
11.  The Magic Position by Patrick Wolf
The list author says:
  "A lovely new hair colour and a lovely new set of songs from Master Wolf. He's a true original - and just listen to him duet with Marianne Faithfull on 'Magpie'."
£4.99   Used & New from: £0.01

Deep Cuts
12.  Deep Cuts by The Knife
The list author says:
  "In the absence of anything from The Fiery Furnaces, The Knife get this  year's Best Brother & Sister Act. And Best Use of Steel Band ('Pass This On'). Probably Swedish Album of the Year too."
£9.16   Used & New from: £6.48

Bombshell
13.  Bombshell by King Creosote
The list author says:
  "KC Rules OK? He does indeed if this new offering is anything to go by. A wondeful voice (that Fife accent), great tunes.  Try first and last tracks, but then  listen to everything in between."
Used & New from: £9.99

Lovers And Crypts
14.  Lovers And Crypts by Bunny Rabbit
The list author says:
  "Unquestionably the year's Best Lesbian Rap Album. Funny, filthy, absolutely and appallingly incorrect in every conceivable way ('Dolphins', anyone?)  Enormous fun for  grown-ups."
£2.98   Used & New from: £1.81

Spider Smile
15.  Spider Smile by Tarwater
The list author says:
  "The year's Best German Electronica Album. They even sing now  - in their minimalist way: 'When Love Was the Law in Los Angeles' is almost as get-up-and-dance as  Mika's 'Grace Kelly'."
£17.05   Used & New from: £7.92

Music for Tourists
16.  Music for Tourists by Chris Garneau
The list author says:
  "Another of those wonky-voiced boys, but these are beautiful songs beautifully arranged. 'Not Nice' is what we've always wanted to say to those we love.  Great album cover, too."
£17.42   Used & New from: £12.52

The Good, The Bad & The Queen
17.  The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good The Bad & The Queen
The list author says:
  "If your heart sinks at the term 'Brit Pop', listen to, say,  'Kingdom of Doom'  or 'Nature Springs'.  It's like The Kinks all over again, which is high praise indeed."
£4.49   Used & New from: £0.98

Neon Bible
18.  Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
The list author says:
  "They really are as good as everyone says.  Annoying, isn't it? But listen to 'Keep the Car Running', 'No Cars Go'... well, almost any track on the album,  and give in."
£7.32   Used & New from: £2.89

Soviet Kitsch
19.  Soviet Kitsch by Regina Spektor
The list author says:
  "A reissue, admittedly, but long unavailable and the sort of album that makes you seek out everything else she has done.  Try the anthemic 'Us' or the quirky 'Ghost of a Corporate Future'. The goods."
£5.47   Used & New from: £3.94

Sonata Mix Dwarf Cosmos
20.  Sonata Mix Dwarf Cosmos by Susanna
The list author says:
  "Dreamy Norweigian minimalist stuff. As slow and haunting as the extraordinary cover versions on Melody Mountain."
£11.11   Used & New from: £6.17
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)
