I don't quite agree with that top 40. Bat for lashes deserves to be higher, and Mika too of course. I also think this album is way better than LICM.
Oh, and Empire of the sun should be lower IMO. I agree about them being a poor man's MGMT.
''However, those U2, Arctic Monkeys, and Muse albums may well be the worst things all three bands have done.''
I love the Arctic Monkeys and Muse album!
At least the top 10 is very nice.
So you see, everyone has a different taste.
