1. Drop the Lime - We Never Sleep
Bmore, Dubstep, and Jungle influenced Breakcore artist. Perfect club album.
2. MSTRKRFT - The Looks
Best Electro album of last year.
3. Plastic Little - She's Mature
Bmore-style joke rappers from Philly.
4. Daedelus - Denies the Day's Demise
LA-based Hip Hop-influenced Electronic artist. Beautiful album.
5. The Rapture - Pieces of the People We Love
Excellent follow-up by one of the better Dance-Punk bands.
6. Girl Talk - Night Ripper
Pitchfork-approved mashup album by a scientist from Philly.
7. The Changes - Today Is Tonight
Indie Rock that's better than most blog buzz bands.
8. The Presets - Beams
Excellent Electro album by an Australian duo. They played Daft Punk in the middle of their set when I saw them live, so they must be good.
9. Magic People - Keen Whips I'd Wear As Rubies
Noise Rock band from Boston. More accessible than the Locust.
10. Tiga - Sexor
Electro Pop album by the guy that got famous for covering "Hot In Herre" and "I Wear My Sunglasses At Night."
11. Hot Chip - The Warning
Really fun Electro Pop album, slightly laidback.
12. Hanne Hukkelberg - Rykestrasse 68
Kind of Experimental Norwegian Indie Pop. Bjork-ish.
13. Cex - Actual ****ing
Former Breakcore artist finds band, makes excellent Electro Pop-ish album.
14. Spank Rock - YoYoYoYoYo
Great Bmore Rap album. Kind of watered down compared to most Bmore, but he's probably the most famous artist to come out of it now.
15. Junior Boys - So This Is Goodbye
Really good Canadian Electro Pop album. I preferred their first, but this is still a good album.
16. Benoît Pioulard - Précis
Really pretty, mellow singer-songwriter album. Not actually French.
17. Kid 606 - Pretty Girls Make Raves
Breakcore artist pays homage to Techno.
18. DJ Mehdi - Lucky Boy
First album released on Busy P's (Daft Punk's manager) Ed Banger label. Nice blend of Electro and Hip-Hop.
19. Whitest Boy Alive - Dreams
Indie Pop album from Norwegian artist Erlend Oye. A more rocking Kings of Convenience.
20. Aerial - Black Rain from the Bombing
Swedish Post-Rock band. Poppier than most Post-Rock.
21. Mono - You Are There
Japanese Post-Rock band. Heavier than most Post-Rock.
22. Xiu Xiu - The Air Force
Xiu Xiu just keeps getting better and better. This album features his best song to date, "Save Me."
23. Bears - Bears
Pretty typical Indie Pop band, but I like it a lot.
24. The Horror The Horror - S/T
Swedish band that somehow manages to rip off all the bands that all those Garage Rock Revivalists did a few years after the fact and do it better than any of them ever could. Kind of Strokes-y, kind of Libertines-y, extra-poppy.
25. The Sounds - Dying to Say This to You
This is an excellent Pop album. Lots of fun, and the chick is hot.
