13. Getting Killed by Geese

Following the trend here as this one is going to be high on a lot of end of year lists. Never heard of them before the hype around this one. Is a very good alt rock album to be fair.

14. More by Pulp

Lots of comeback albums disappoint, not this one though. Great tunes and Jarvis in fine form as a lyricist.

17. Juniper by Joy Crookes

Soul, jazz, R&B and her gorgeous voice.

18. West End Girl by Lily Allen

Oh my word… these lyrics are excoriating. Never do the dirty on a songwriter.

19. The Purple Bird by Bonnie Prince Billy

Another fine album from Will using great Nashville musicians
