57. The Dirtbombs - Dangerous Magical Noise (2003)
"Stubbornly lo-fi and expectedly scrappy, the album is also tremendously listenable, a rhythmic, leg-flailing romp through vintage soul cool, glam boogie, classic rock thrash, and punk bravado" said pitchforkmedia about this record from Detroit, the Motor City. While Jack White's always in the spotlight with The White Stripes for reinvigorating the dusty blues and while he's one hell of a talent, The Dirtbombs are the group keeping it real in Detroit. Some genres that the Pitchfork review didn't mention are garage rock and motown which soar through in Mick Collins' stunning voice - he's even better than Phil Collins! As a non-driver, it's hard to back this up, but I bet this is the best album to drive to this century with the sun blazing down and the top-down. Instead, I'll just stick to singing it in the shower where it always seems to be raining.
