Lemon Jelly - Lost Horizons 
Love the artwork/packaging that went with it too, matches the soft playful manner of the music. A vinyl copy will cost you at least £150 today.

Turn On the Bright Lights is one of those albums that I always come back to tbh. Its a classic of its genre, and stands head and shoulders above any of the post punk revival/influenced scene of the early 2000s. In a perfect world, Interpol would have made no more albums and just left us wanting more.

Think there's a solid case to be made for Beat Surf Fun as the top tweepop release of 2002, unless anyone's got anything that can top it?
Some fantastic crust albums as well, some people call Tragedy "stadium crust" but I reckon they're one of the alltime greats of the genre, and 2002 was the year Vengeance came out:
And World Burns to Death - Sucking of the Missile Cock is just a fantastic band name/album name combo:

Saw them twice while they were touring that record. One was glastonbury; middle of the afternoon, pushing 30 degrees, and they were still up there in black wool suits. The bass player had a guitar strap with a little holster for a packet of cigarettes so he could spark up a marlboro red mid-song. As gloomy teenager I was very impressed by that sort of thing.

I've just this moment realised that he's not actually the same person as from Young Frankenstein.

If you like ambient post rock intrumental type albums then Do Make Say Think - &Yet &Yet is worth seeking out.

A crazy bulbous punchbag of sound
Out Hud shared members with LCD Soundsystem and !!!. Their first album S.T.R.E.E.T. D.A.D. was in 2002. It's good weird 00s disco-punk stuff.

I fell in love with The White Birch over a decade ago. Norwegian 'slowcore' group named after The Codeine album . It's beautifully crafted, melancholic but warm and almost hypnotic. 'Their sound was painted in a dark, blurry yellow, like falling leaves in autumn.'.
Early evening, late night listening.

I think most people prefer Music Has the Right to Children, but for me Geogaddi is BoC's masterpiece. Absolutely perfectly album. Otherworldy, weird, and totally listenable.

I agree, it's much better than Right to Children.
Both Village Voice and Robert Christgau have Andrew WK's debut in their 2002 lists. If that was the case I'd definitely vote for that, but it was in fact released in 2001.
Kid606's excellently titled The Action Packed Mentallist Brings You The Fucking Jams is damn good:
