• 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! :)
