And the finest ten records released this year are... drum roll please...

10. DAUGHTER: If You Leave



9. LOS CAMPESINOS!: No Blues



8. PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING: Inform - Educate - Entertain



7. BIFFY CLYRO: Opposites



6. FUTURE OF THE LEFT: How To Stop Your Brain in an Accident

2. SAVAGES: Silence Yourself



And this year's finest record...

1. R KELLY: Black Panties



Such verve, such poise, such grace; an album that explores timeless themes with a varied and classy musical and lyrical palette. Songs like 'Marry the Pussy' really push the boundaries and will doubtless strike a chord with even the most... oh, okay, I'll stop. The REAL number one...

1. THE NATIONAL: Trouble Will Find Me
