9. The National - High Violet
For a band that I'd only heard a couple of albums before hearing this, this came as quite a pleasant surprise. All the songs are memorable and have their own little drawing point, and it's definitely up here with Alligator for me.
I guess what I love about this album is the fact that even though it's not the most original sounding music on the planet, but they get the basics spot-on; great melodies, lyrics, music...it's just a fantastic record to listen to full-stop.
