47. The Hives, 'Lex Hives'

Five years after the somewhat-experimental Black and White Album, the Swedish quintet return with a burner that blasts off and never looks back. Donning tuxedos and top hats, the Hives prove that high-class outfits and a bit of maturity doesn't mean you can't have some old-fashioned scream-along fun. -- Dan Reilly
