“As a songwriter and frontman, he’s bland to the point of being invisible.”

Everlong.

The good of Evil Urges far outweighs the evil.

I’ll take “Abel” over “Mr. November” if only one shouty song makes the list.

Big fan of the resigned “Fuck” in the middle-eight.

Ty Segall put out three albums that could easily make this list, and yet…

Toss up for me between Ty Segall Band’s Slaughterhouse and Titus Andronicus’ Local Business. Going to go with Local Business.

Incredibly difficult to choose, but I gotta go “White Album”, if for nothing but the fact that it has Blackbird and Helter Skelter – which were both somehow written by the same person. Also, Happiness is a Warm Gun, which was somehow written by one person.

I don’t even think Paul McCartney would agree “Band on the Run” is a better song than “Imagine”.

Big muff and POG. Failing that, whatever the hell Jamie Hince uses to get the sound he gets.

It may be just me, but I’m actually starting to pull for Kings of Leon in this indie bands vs. Kings of Leon nonsense. When did rock and roll become so strangely serious?

The Strange Boys put out a very good album that I’d put in my top 50.

Best list of the three so far. Also, TV on the Radio’s album is very underrated. The production alone should put them in the top 10 of the year.
