19. The Raconteurs - 'The Consolers of the Lonely' - The Raconteurs took on new frontiers in 2008 - and with second album ‘Consolers of the Lonely’, managed to trump their debut. Their decision to release the album with none of the usual press lead-time (in a bid to get it to the fans first) was vindicated by the quality of the music, which juxtaposed urgency (‘Hold Up’, ‘Salute Your Solution’) with southern blues serenity (‘Top Yourself’). And to think it was meant to be the year of the White Stripes. [JG]
