The ranking of the best indie rock albums of 2001, according to Radio X

It was the year of “Discovery“, “Is This It“, “Origin Of Symmetry” and “Amnesiac”, along with many other landmark albums that left their mark. Radio X magazine takes a deep dive into 2001, drawing up its ranking of the best indie-rock records released that year. “Twelve extraordinary months that left a deep mark on alternative rock, indie and electronic music, delivering a string of albums destined to become classics,” as the magazine puts it in its introduction.
