77. The Sleepy Jackson - Lovers (2003)
Press play on this one and 'Good Dancers' is instant feel-good, the unsullied brilliance of Luke Jackson's folk sounds a lot like The Flaming Lips. Next track 'Vampire Racecourse' sounds like The Strokes' 'Modern Age' complete with a bluesy piano, The Sleepy Jackson sound like a totally different animal on each cut you dick 'ed. And so it follows, each song throws down a different influence, they can do psychedelic, highly-strung and strung out. This keeps in tune with the phasal nature of Jackson's own personality as he's had moments with drink, drugs and religion. 'Lovers' stays on the right side of loopy, without being too bonkers, this alt-country album is a lost classic.
