23. HEARTTHROB by Tegan and Sara

Up until this 2013 record was released, identical twin sister duo Tegan and Sara were mainly known as a guitar-oriented indie pop and folk band. However, all that changed with ‘Heartthrob.’ Stating that Taylor Swift heavily influenced the style of this album, this is their synthpop masterpiece. Not only does pretty much every track have a catchy, hummable melody, but there’s also depth to each song. This is the thinking person’s pop album. Every song is so good that it’s hard to recommend just a few to start with, but here goes:  ‘I Was A Fool,’ ‘I’m Not Your Hero’ and ‘Drove Me Wild.’
