8. Â‘Turn On The Bright LightsÂ’ Â– Interpol (2002)

Their follow-up albums didnÂ’t hold the same appeal, but InterpolÂ’s fiery debut saw a resurgence of Manchester post-punk ala Joy Division but this time given a New York grinding indie rock twist.

DonÂ’t let the life-affirming title fool you, Â‘Turn On The Bright LightsÂ’ is a darkly toned, slowly simmering album book-ended with paranoia fear and unrequited lust.
