I'M Wide Awake, It'S Morning
4.  I'M Wide Awake, It'S Morning by Bright Eyes

4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (43 customer reviews)

Fevers & Mirrors
5.  Fevers & Mirrors by Bright Eyes

LIFTED ( OR THE STORY IS )
6.  LIFTED ( OR THE STORY IS ) by Bright Eyes

4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews)

Wind in the Wires
7.  Wind in the Wires by Patrick Wolf

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Unknown Pleasures
8.  Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
The list author says:

4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (37 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Oracular Spectacular
9.  Oracular Spectacular by MGMT

The Magic Position
10.  The Magic Position by Patrick Wolf

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

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

Odelay

Fever To Tell
16.  Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Antidotes (Cd Album)
17.  Antidotes (Cd Album) by Foals

Myths Of The Near Future

Begin To Hope

The Velvet Underground and Nico
21.  The Velvet Underground and Nico by Velvet Underground

4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (44 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Our Love to Admire
22.  Our Love to Admire by Interpol
The list author says:
  "A modern Joy Division. Well, yeah. But still, despite the questionable lyrics I feel I can always turn to Interpol when I don't know what to listen to. Just so damn well devised."

4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (45 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Cansei De Ser Sexy
23.  Cansei De Ser Sexy by CSS

3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

Making Dens
24.  Making Dens by Mystery Jets
The list author says:
  "*Limewired* Mystery Jets are a thoroughly lovable band, but then I love quirkiness. You Can't Fool Me Dennis is not only a brilliant title, but also a brilliant song, as is Diamonds.. Nicely different"

A Weekend in the City
25.  A Weekend in the City by Bloc Party
The list author says:
  "I thought I'd tie off the list with some more Bloc Party. This album is darker, more mature and perhaps prefered to their debut... I love every song. Amazing Band."
