Pleased to see Friendly Fires in there, love their album.

Disappointed not to see Doves or White Lies on the list:(

white lies are amaze =]
i hate florence and the machine though. her voice is horrible and she looks like a man.
glasvegas are good too.

I might buy the Lisa Hannigan album, didn't know she'd done her own music.

Some good selections there. Glasvegas I like apart from the man's voice. It's awful. Sweet Billy Pilgrim I heard four years ago and I didn't even know they were still going, obviously they are! Lisa Hannigan album is good. Not at all keen on La Roux. Florence and the Machine are pretty good. I heard Rabbit Heart done acoustically and it was miles better than the studio version. Bat For Lashes album I really like. I think The Horrors album is good too. They've gone from being cheap gimmicky Cramps rip offs to a proper band with their own sound.

As for White Lies, I like them but they aren't on the list? I'm going to see them later this year. More the Asobi Seksu support but I do wanna see White Lies too.
