19. Saul Williams - "Volcanic Sunlight"
Every time Saul Williams puts something out, whether it be an album, an EP, or like last years' poetry set to music set "NGH WHT - The Dead Sea Scrolls", it is an event. "Volcanic Sunlight" is like nothing else he has released before. A Soul-pop hip-hop odyssey of epic proportions.
18. Nicola Roberts - "Cinderella's Eyes"
The most surprising album of the year without any question or doubt. The artist formerly known as "the pale ginger one from Girls Aloud" has put together a staggering pure pop album with some quite unique songs, and a much better voice than anyone expected.
17. Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa - "Don't Explain"
The second of Joe Bonamassa's three albums this year to make the countdown, "Don't Explain" pairs Joe's intricate guitar playing with Hart's smoulderingly sultry vocals. A marriage made in heaven and a very enjoyable record.
16. Laura Marling - "A Creature I Don't Know"
The third album from 21 year old Hampshire singer songwriter Laura Marling is another stunning slice of angelic acoustic folk rock. The lyrics are matched by Marling's haunting voice to create a beautiful listening experience.
15. Reckless Love - "Animal Attraction"
The second album from Finnish nu-glam outfit Reckless Love carries on where 2010's self-titled debut left off. Massive choruses, big riffs and sexy solos make the four piece one of the most entertaining bands around.
