20. Blur--Think Tank
Britons like Blur more than I do.
19. The White Stripes--White Blood Cells
This one's top 10 material.
18. The White Stripes--Elephant
Interesting juxtaposition, but White Blood Cells is way better.
17. Sufjan Stevens--Illinois
Whatever.
16. The Streets--A Grand Don't Come For Free
Nice to see appreciation for The Streets, but this might be too much appreciation.
15. Queens Of The Stone Age--Songs For The Deaf
I like them, but this is a little excessive.
14. Radiohead--Kid A
This is a pretty sensible selection.
13. The Shins--Wincing The Night Away
This is a far less sensible selection.
12. LCD Soundsystem--Sound Of Silver
I like it even more than this, but I'll take it.
11. At The Drive In--Relationship Of Command
I really haven't heard too much from them. They seem okay.
10. Radiohead--In Rainbows
A high reward for the band's weakest album this decade.
9. The Streets--Original Pirate Material
Great album--might be a bit high though.
8. Interpol--Turn On The Bright Lights
I'm not as crazy about this one.
7. The Arcade Fire--Funeral
This is sensible enough.
6. PJ Harvey--Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
I haven't heard this album, but I'm not a big fan of hers.
5. Yeah Yeah Yeahs--Fever To Tell
Eh.
4. Arctic Monkeys--Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
Double eh.
3. Primal Scream--XTRMNTR
I like this album. But not quite this much.
2. The Libertines--Up The Bracket
To be fair, I haven't really heard this.
1. The Strokes--Is This It
Definitely overrated a bit.
UPDATE: NME stands for New Musical Express.
The best thing I have gotten from all these lists is the Streets. I had never heard of them before, but now I'm kind of obsessed.
