11: Glasvegas - Glasvegas
"Glasvegas is that rarest of beasts – a debut record that arrives on a raft of hype, but actually delivers the goods to the far bank. With the country sliding into recession and the outlook bleak, Glasvegas make exactly the sort of music we need right now – realist yet escapist, substantial pop. They deserve every bit of praise that’s been thrown at them, and then some." Luke Turner
