13. The Temper Trap: 'Conditions' (Infectious Records) - 2009 was the year The Temper Trap made an indelible mark on the music map both in their native Australia and much further abroad. Slow burners like �Love Lost� and �Sweet Disposition� proved their knack for writing an incredible, gigantic chorus while �Fader� and �Science of Fear� opened the door for a fan following which will swell to the arenas in the next decade. Unafraid to experiment (�Drum Song�) and go all epic on us (�Soldier On�), �Conditions� was an album of superlative quality and imagination. (Chris Reynolds)

- 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.
