Only by the NightOnly by the Night by Kings of Leon
Buy new: £6.68 / Used from: £4.59
Admittedly more arena sized sounding but still great album. Can they do any wrong? Oh yes the track "17" which is just drivel.
The Seldom Seen KidThe Seldom Seen Kid by Elbow
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.93
Deserved winner of Mercury Prize. About flaming time! Beautiful album with the most incredible voice of the 00s.
Nights OutNights Out by Metronomy
Buy new: £7.38 / Used from: £5.99
Fresh in an 80s sort of way. If weren't around in the 80s then just fresh!

Still majestic, still Sigur Ros. Complete with a few more poppy and easier accessable tracks on this one.
