20. BEN KWELLER - On My Way

This has crept in at the bottom of the list, and when I realised it was going to I was fairly surprised.  This album is good, there are some lovely pop songs here, but it is just a bit of a disappointment.  I adored Sha Sha so much that this just feels like a little bit of a letdown.  The title track is my favourite, and ‘The Rules’, er, rules.  Plus the live show he delivered in Nottingham was excellent.  Still, it was the songs from Sha Sha that made me cheer the loudest.  Yet, it has beaten about ten other eligible albums to be on this list, so it is far from bad.  Just not awesome.
