Ok so i'm struggling with choosing some albums for a present for someone who has no CDs but now wants them. Knowing nothing about their music tastes and getting a reply of 'I would like some classics to start my collection eg oasis, fat boy slim, chemical bros etc' led me to making this thread

What would your top 5 albums of the last 5 years be?

For me, in no particular order:-

The Killers - Hot Fuss
Hard-Fi - Stars of CCTV
Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand
Razorlight - Up All Night
Kasabian - Kasabian
