57. The Streets – Has it Come to This? (2001)

The poet laureate of UK garage, Michael Skinner, a.k.a "The Streets", went through the decade making cohesive concept-albums that reflected the life of working-class youth in England, through the prism of his own life. His first record already shows what a unique voice he is in the pop world, and from there he went on, always connected to what was going on in the British pop scene, but always doing it like no one else.
