Below I have compiled a list of my favourite albums of the last decade:

It goes without saying that Doves are by far my favourite band of the past ten years with all four of their albums inside my top 50.

This is a work in progress so bare with me……reviews to follow.

1) Doves - Lost Souls(2000)
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/311S1MGA9YL._SL500_AA240_.jpg
Doves debut album Lost Souls is as close to the ultimate album as you could get. It demands you to listen more and more. I remember walking into a record shop and buying Doves Second album The Last Broadcast and the bloke behind the till saying "Have you heard lost souls?" To which i replied "No" and i vagely remember him saying "You have to buy it, if theres one album you need thats it", He wasn't wrong! Needless to say, I bought it and have been a huge Doves fan since. Its moody, yet uplifting vibe really catches you with brilliant basslines and well crafted song structures. The three boys from Manchester dont look like pop stars, yet over the last decade they have produced four outstanding records, and this is the best of them!

2) The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots(2002)

Wayne Coyne and his band the Flaming lips 10th album Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots is absolutley genious. Theres not many people in music that could pull an album like this off, let alone make it a success, yet The Flaming Lips did and to critical acclaim. You could listen to this record in 20 years and it would still feel like its from the future (Thats how good it is!).

3) Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl(2005)
