A
very fine return from a great rock band with their most diverse album so far. The mystique
and atmosphere, however, are intact. About Garbage |
2. Semisonic: All About Chemistry
 |
One of the great surprises of the year, this album totally disarms you with one rock song of pure melodic genius after another. |
3. The Strokes: Is This It
 |
By far the most over-hyped band of the year. However, there was no cooler and sexier rock album all year and in many ways the hype was justified. |
4. R.E.M.: Reveal
 |
R.E.M. have
found their true selves and developed it even further on their last couple of album. This
one is yet another important step forward. About R.E.M. |
5. Travis: The Invisible Band
 |
The album that really established Travis among the really big acts, especially in the UK. The world will discover this album a little later on if there's any justice... |
6. James: Pleased To
Meet You
 |
James
are not really chart potential any more and their sales figures are also not really cool.
The band and their music, however, remains as cool as ever and one of the world's best
kept secrets.... About James |
7. Eskobar: There's Only
Now
 |
Completely mesmerizing music from Swedish atmosphere masters' second album. The duet with Heather Nova "Someone New" may just be the best song of 2001. |
8. Sing-Sing: The Joy Of
Sing-Sing
 |
Former Lush member Emma Anderson teams up with Lisa O'Neill and creates another batch of brilliant airy indie pop songs. |
9. Natalie Imbruglia: White
Lilies Island
 |
This album took a lot of beating among the critics and even though it may not be as "Indie" as her first, it still contains a lot of fine tunes... |
10. Lambretta: Lambretta
 |
Great second album from Swedish trash poppers lending heavily from Garbage. The song "Bimbo" was aired during the Super Bowl final, probably earning them a few new listeners... |

Depeche Mode: Exiter
Faithless: Outrospective
Fragma: Toca
