I didn’t recognise ANY of them.
I’m surprised you hadn’t heard of Suede, Lily Allen, Manic Street Preachers or Johnny Marr, for starters...
I listened to that Shame album (Songs of Praise) a few weeks ago and watched the "live in the KEXP studio" on YouTube. They're very good.
I do wonder how they (anyone) manages to rate all the year's albums in order of bestness 1, 2, 3 etc, but regardless I always read them! Here is Uncut's take:

Well, that's 4 more than me. I listened to Low but it didn't stick to me, but these lists are all about giving albums a second chance as much as seeing what is going on. In most years a kind of consensus emerges and the Johnny come latelys realise in about 10 years time that today's music is pretty good.Got 4 of the top 10 - the Low album is excellent.
Not new, but for me rimal Scream - The Original Memphis Recordings.
A cracking album. There was a programme about its making on BBC4 last Friday.
