Here's a list of our team's favourite albums of 2011.

Little Roy - Battle For Seattle

Did you know that Nirvana's Nevermind was 20 years old in 2011? Little Roy has made this totally unexpected awesome album of reggae'd Nirvana covers! If you missed the band on Jools Holland, then check out Heart Shaped Box on YouTube; bloomin' brilliant. This got played a lot in the office and since it was on everyone's list and the ONLY album on Alex's list, it goes at the top!

PJ Harvey - Let England Shake

Each of James, Ian and myself are really excited about just how good this album is. A very worthy winner of the Mercury Music Prize.

DJ Shadow - The Less You Know The Better

Mind-bogglingly brilliant. This is my top pick of the year. It's a big dose of eclectic sounds and impecible production from a dude with the ridiculously huge record collection! Amazing.

The Roots - Undun

This album reminds me of Curtis Mayfield's 'New World Order', which is one of my all-time favourite albums. It's much more downbeat than their last (also brilliant) album 'How I Got Over'; a really immersive and soulful beauty!

Wild Beasts - Smother

Woah man, that's some mellow chilled out album. I've listened to this a LOT!

Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee Part Two

One on both Stuart's list and mine. It's really hard to describe this FAT album without using the word FAT in-between every other word. It's the production, it's really really FAT, you'll know what I mean if you listen to it!
