33. The Last Shadow Puppets - 'The Age of the Understatement' - Much more than an Arctic Monkey in a suit, this pair made one of the year's most refreshingly different records. It wore its influences on its well-tailored sleeves and swaggered down an altered avenue with its lush instrumentation and breezy experimentation. Though it includes misses, the schoolboy lollop of 'Meeting Place', the bombastic blast of its title track and the Bond-theme-that-never-was of 'My Mistakes Were Made For You' make this a worthy creation.
