40. Seasick Steve: 'Man From Another Time' (Atlantic) – Arguably the career zenith for the bearded wonder that is Seasick Steve. From start to finish, the record is a perfect storm of his lo fi blues and as rough & ready as the bizarre home made instruments he plays on. Yet on this record he pushes past this boundary into electric rock, and in doing so captures the rough essence of blues. This is the record that proves Steve as significant as any of the famous blues guitarists of the last 30 years. (Jon Bye)

- Moderat, Memory Tapes and Vitalic?!! Great list for including those alone
- The Blueprint 3? That is one rubbish album. Shame that Jay Z hasn't made a good album for 8 years.
- Tune-Yards should have been on this list.
- Gotta be the best album list I've read so far!
- bunch of marginally talented hipster douches ruined this list.
YYY and Muse are the only ones worth buying.
