9. WAKE UP THE NATIONPaul Weller
Label: Island
Key track: Wake Up The Nation
So this is the modern world. Weller's 10th solo album was his angriest sounding record in years, directing its fury at everything from social networking sites to the "death of the postbox". Add Walker Brothers-esque balladry (No Tears To Cry), experimental song suites (Trees) and off-piste collaborators (including MBV's Kevin Shields on 7&3 Is The Strikers Name), and here was proof that, at 52, his mid-life musical renaissance shows no sign of abating.
