Between #100 and #41 I will count down in blocks of three:

 

http://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/6930202.JPGhttp://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/CORRINETEMP.JPGhttp://www3.hmv.co.uk/hmv/Large_Images/HMV/9866089.JPG

 

100 Bats For Lashes - Two Suns 2009 (Track played: Daniel)

 

Two Suns is the Mercury Music Prize nominated second album by English-Pakistani solo artist Natasha Khan. Like her debut it was co-produced by Khan and Dave Kosten. A more consistant darkly ethereal effort than her debut IMHO, but with less highs IMHO.

 

99 Corinne Bailey Rae - Corinne Bailey Rae 2006 (Fav Track: Enchantment)

 

The debut album by Leeds hybrid of Sade, Erykah Badu and Amy Winehouse went to UK#1 (after the monster UK#2 hit Put Your Records On), and more impressively USA Top 5. After the overdose of her musician husband, I await her reappearance early 2010 with the album "The Sea" for this commercial Soul, R&B, jazz, blues, acoustic singer-songwriter. She is booked to appear on Later with Jools Holland next week.

 

98 Snow Patrol - Final Straw 2004 (Fav track: How To Be Dead)

 

Originally released in 2003 to minor sales, this third album by the Northern Irish mainstream rock outfit was reissued on the back of the breakthrough hit "Run" before going 4 times platinum in the UK, providing plenty of evidence that Gary Lightbody is a very good singer/songwriter. Also features the hits: Spitting Games, Chocolate and How To Be Dead).

97 Madonna - American Life 2003 (Fav non single track: Nothing Fails)

 

For me having first bought Madonna's debut album in vinyl in its original black and white cover back in 1984, this was the decade when the Queen of Pop's crown slipped. This is Madge's only entry in my album decade countdown, because despite its relative lack of success (largely thanks to the American Life banned video's anti-war/anti-Bush message when the war in Iraq had popular support) for me this is by far her best album of the decade due to the very personal nature of the material on the album, as it is her one album released this decade which did not seem to be preoccupied in chasing unit sales.

 

96 Little Boots - Hands 2009 (Featured track: Symmetry)

 

 

Blackpool's Victoria Hesketh's promotional campaign for this album will surely be used in future media studies courses as a case study in how not to run a promo campaign for a new up and coming artist :( ...... as the fact remains this is an album crammed full of great songs even if some of the material is over produced and the artist's lack of charisma when performing suggests that her best bet is to become the next generation's Cathy Dennis songwriter to the popstars of tomorrow.

 

95 Girls Aloud - Tangled Up 2007 (Fav track: Black Jacks)

 

For me this is easily Xenomania's finest album. Far more consistant than the patchy Chemistry, and the more experimental and less strong Out Of Control, this album is full of pop anthems, with many of the album tracks potential unrealised singles.
