34. Jay-Z and Kanye West - "Watch the Throne"
Two of hip-hop's titans come together for an album that covered the whole of the genre. From 70s soul to progressive rock based backing tracks, and the superb use of samples, "Watch the Throne" is a more than valid addition to both men's catalogues.

33. Edguy - "Age of the Joker"
Album number nine from Tobias Sammet's veteran German power metallers is another collection of expansive and at times complex metal tracks. The vocals soar and there's guitar solos aplenty. It may be more of the same, but when it's good, there's no complaints.
32. Serengeti - "Family and Friends"
Still rooted deeply in the underground, Chicago's Serengeti is one of the top acts in alternative hip-hop. The lyrics are intelligent and thoughtful, while the sparse beats allow the words to tell the story. A well kept secret just begging to be let out.
