16 Erykah Badu - New Amerykah Part One (4th World War)
15 Eli "Paperboy" Reed & The True Loves - Roll With You
14 British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?
13 Drive-By Truckers - Brighter Than Creation's Dark
12 Don Cavalli - Cryland
11 Portishead - Third
10 Neil Diamond - Home Before Dark
9 The Bug - London Zoo
8 The Week That Was - The Week That Was
7 Glasvegas - Glasvegas
6 The Hold Steady - Stay Positive
5 Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!
4 Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
3 Paul Weller - 22 Dreams
2 The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of The Understatement

Definitely more niche overall than Q's, though not quite as full blown niche as Rough Trade. No Vampire Weekend? Seems harsh to me but there probably won't be many readers of Mojo that will be arguing with their top 5 at least.
