NME's 10 best albums of the noughties
9. ‘Original Pirate Material’ – The Streets (2002)
An eclectic mix of garage, electronica and hip-hop, The Streets sees half-rap, half-singing vocals in a cockney accent.
It’s certainly not for everyone, but the album's appeal does lie in its British influences and iconography – everything from sitting around playing on Playstations and smoking dubious substances to ordering Indian takeaways is name-checked in this savvy social commentary.
