Jamie T - Panic Prevention.
I got into his 3rd album after seeing him support Blur. I think the debut is more of a mixed bag, Salvador being a high point.

The Temper Trap - Conditions (2009)
Great Aussie band known best known for 'Sweet Disposition' but there's also a lot of other good stuff here.

Battles - Mirrored
The Music video for 'Atlas' was everywhere at the time. I still don't quite know how to describe this but the labels Math Rock and Experimental Rock are thrown around. Quite enjoyed the relisten.

Bat For Lashes - Fur And Gold
Natasha Khan went on to release even better stuff but this is a worthy debut. 'What's a girl to do' remains my favourite track.
Absolutely agree.

Genre defying? I'm not sure, but it's a great listen.

Cohen definitely. Drake is most likely in my top 5 and The Band a possibility at this stage. Some tough choices!

Led Zeppelin 1
To young ears in the early 90s, these songs sounded electric and still do.
His books are definitely a lot of fun. If you like this, you should check out the First Law trilogy starting with The Blade Itself.
