20. Vitalic: 'Flashmob' (Different Records/PIAS) � Pascal Arbez's 2005 debut 'OK Cowboy' was a record of epic proportions and seemed near impossible to surpass. Fortunately, Arbez decided not to rehash the pummelling techno swirl of 'La Rock 01' or the crunching 'My Friend Dario' and instead tapped into disco music � with a dark twist of course. From the space aged disco of 'Station Mir 2099' to the harrowing melodies of 'Still' to the funky-as-fuck 'Chicken Lady', 'Flashmob' is a dizzying fusion of styles and easily one of the year's defining electronic records.

- 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.
