5 The Fall – Your Future, Our Clutter
Always different, always number 27 in the UAOTY. Except this year. 38 albums in, and MES gets his highest ever placing and more Number 1 votes than any other album out there. Always different, always bitter, acerbic, hallucinatory, contradictory. The dialectic in musical form.

4 The National – High Violet
Isn’t this just this years landfill indie? Urban says no! Setting flashes of vivid abstraction against a dark monochrome field, High Violet is a giant canvas in which you can lose yourself for hours at a time.

3 Arcade Fire – The Suburbs
The pre-vote favourite, it never took the lead but always threatened to. It may not have won the final accolade, but finally we forgive Canada for Alanis Morissette.

Like a cornfield in the midwest, then? And about as interesting.

2 Four Tet – There Is Love In You
The album which received most individual nominations, Kieran Hebden’s latest lets him finally really step outside of the Fridge, and allow his ghosts to dance.

“The most common sound associated with them is the clicking of their feet while walking - a noise produced by a tendon slipping over the sesamoid bone in the foot.“
Now that’s what I call music.
1 Caribou - Swim
It’s folk, it’s Kraut, it’s the Beach Boys, and it’s joyous and harmonious and cacophonous. It’s pretty much everything you could want from 43 minutes of music. And is by a son of Sheffield. Sorta.

Lol. Top 5 of the usual Urban limp-wristed, mainstream toss, then.

I'm surprised none of our eagle eyed readers noticed that's Swim's wiki had already been updated.
Spotify Playlist of a track from each album that's on there.
Thanks to everyone who voted, gave track suggestions and descriptions. Another decent choice.

Only two albums I've got from the top 30 are The Fall and Four Tet ones... bit of a light year for me buying

Bloody hell, Super Chron at 37? 
Still, anyone who voted for Kanye instead of it needs to have ear surgery with a pneumatic drill.

Bugger, I forgot to vote... but I'll have to check some of these out... I've only heard the Four Tet one (which is not that good), the Melvins one (which is pretty good) and the Mount Kimbie one (which is great).
