I love Pharrell anyway, and this is another top album from N.E.R.D. The opening track is them at their best!

2008 was definately their year
SantogoldSantogold by Santogold
Buy new: £8.18 / Used from: £4.98
There is a lot of hype around this woman. Not sure if it's entirely deserved. Half of this album is great.
Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends/Prospekt's MarchViva la Vida or Death and All His Friends/Prospekt's March by Coldplay
Buy new: £5.98
Another solid album from Chris Martin and co. The extra tracks on Prospekt's March are good aside from the Jay-Z atrocity
