10. Arcade Fire - Funeral - 2004
Perhaps the greatest band to ever come out of Canada, Arcade Fire's 2004 debut is a masterpiece in Baroque Pop. Front man Win Butler sings with passion, while their music incorporates classic rock elements with complimenting orchestral additions, all wrapped up with huge choruses, exhilerating highs and moving lows. Arcade Fire are one of those bands which so easily wrap thier music in emotion, and this comes across perfectly in 'Funeral', with the name inspired by the deaths of relatives of the band. 'Funeral' is an incredibly moving debut, perhaps one of the best ever, and contains some of the most personal music you will ever hear.
