78. Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor (2005)

A record that came around in 2005 and brought some more life to the corpse of rock. Energetic garage-rock, agitated and dissatisfied, like in the good old days. The lyrics can be taken as an attack on the dance styles that usurped rock, and many rock fans regard the Arctic Monkeys as the great white hope of bringing back old glories. They can keep hoping – Arctic Monkeys is a very good band, but not groundbreaking. This record is wonderful, and certainly deserved to be named among the best records of the decade, but nothing new.
