• We Are Scientists - With Love and Squalor
• My Morning Jacket - Z
• Editors - The Back Room
• Antony & The Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now
• The Magic Numbers - The Magic Numbers
• Supergrass - Road To Rouen
• Pet Shop Boys - Back To Mine
• Block Party - Silent Alarm
• Doves - Some Cities
• My Computer - No CV
• Coldplay - X&Y
• Hard-Fi - Stars of CCTV
• Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger
• The Tears - Here Come The Tears
• Erol Alkan - Bugged Out/In Selection
• Martha Wainwright - Martha Wainwright

There must be dozens of excellent albums which we haven’t even heard about, so, if you’d be so kind, do us a favour and add a comment telling us what we’re missing out on — we’d really appreciate it! :)
