Tom Bath's Top Five Albums of The Year

Top Five. No particular order

Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul (I really didn't think they had it in them. I really really didn't. Fair play. An immense effort)

Fleet Foxes - Eponymous Fox (I like beards and melody. These have both in abundance. If they weren't so good, i'd set my pack of beagles on them)

Vampire Wikend - Eponymous Vampire (I fuckin hated these when i first heard them. Now i don't. It's impossible not to tap your foot and whistle to these)

Duffy - Rockferry (As the mists of time blur the boundaries between Dusty Springfield etc and this pastiche, we'll be left with a QUALITY soul album)

Elbow - Seldom Seen Dudes (I used to spend hours telling my ex-drummer that elbow were shit. Just to make him cry. I was wrong. Sorry Will)

MGMT - Oracular Spectacular (Any album that contains the lyric 'We'll choke on our vomit, and that will be the end' must be a good one. The squirly wurly arrangements are rather fine as well)

That's 6 albums!

Woooooooooooo
