 | Do You Like Rock Music? by British Sea Power
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £3.45 Steady album that has been a fixture on the old 'pod
|
 | The '59 Sound by The Gaslight Anthem
Buy new: £4.58 / Used from: £4.34 Slightly derivative but a worthy album nonetheless
|
 | The Crucible of Man: Something Wicked, Pt. 2 by Iced Earth
Buy new: £10.78 / Used from: £8.00 Dense metal prog hybrid
|
 | Glasvegas by Glasvegas
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.25 Perhaps overhyped but one of the best "indie" albums of the year
|
 | Mescalito by Ryan Bingham
Buy new: £8.78 / Used from: £7.60 Country style singer songwriter deserves to be bigger.
|
 | Good To Be Bad by Whitesnake
Buy new: £10.28 / Used from: £8.04 One of the best of the albums by "Old boys" (Nazareth, Thunder and Judas Priest get honourable mentions)
|
 | The Alchemy Index, Vol. 1 & 2: Fire & Water by Thrice
Buy new: £8.68 / Used from: £6.94 Intelligent rock
|
 | Gods of the Earth by The Sword
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £5.06 Lots of shouting and high energy metal
|
 | Stop Drop And Roll!!! by Foxboro Hot Tubs
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £6.03 Green Day go "trad" - too much for their fans? Not as big a hit as it deserved to be.
|
 | Desert Crossroads by Etran Finatawa
Buy new: £9.78 / Used from: £5.00 Seem to be under appreciated even within world music circles.
|
 | The Second Coming by Eden's Curse
Buy new: £13.98 / Used from: £11.97 Better than Def Leppard's effort - this is quality heavy ended melodic metal
|
 | The Slip + DVD by Nine Inch Nails
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £7.45 Mixed reviews of a band/individual with a fanatical following - I liked it!
|
 | Revelation by Journey
Buy new: £9.88 / Used from: £8.61 Album that just reeks of quality, song writing, musicianship, singing and production. If you like this you'll LOVE Eden's Curse,
|
 | The Outsider by Walter Trout
Buy new: £9.88 This just grows and grows and would now get a five star review if I were doing it now.
|
 | Watershed by Opeth
Buy new: £6.58 / Used from: £4.84 Ultra heavy prog metal with some shouty bits of course...
|
 | Ready for the Flood by Mark Olson & Gary Louris
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £6.00 Still not officially released at the time of writing - don't know what the hold up is but they're missing a trick as this is a lovely album.
|
 | Vagabonds by Gary Louris
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £6.49 Still those of us who miss the Jayhawks have also got this one, which has been another big hit for me over the summer
|
 | H.A.A.R.P + DVD by Muse
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.50 Don't know how Muse are going to top this. If you take this as a "greatest hits" package they're going to have to pull out all the stops next time round
|
 | Runnin Wild by Airbourne
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £6.09 more AC/DC than even AC/DC
|
 | Black Ice by AC/DC
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £2.46 OK maybe not, but even after I gacve this a 4 star review it has grown and grown in my affections. For those about to rock indeed!
|
 | Welcome to Mali by Amadou and Mariam
Buy new: £5.48 Only had this album a week and i have no hesitation in putting it so high in my list. An excellent amalgam of African style and Western electronica this is a stylish piece of work.
|
 | Shogun (Special Edition) (CD/DVD) by Trivium
Buy new: £9.08 / Used from: £6.50 My top 4 are all equal top but represent my favourite in any particular genre. This is my top metal/heavy rock album - a veritable classic and way better than Metallica's latest. (Still gave that 4 *)
|
 | Saturnalia by The Gutter Twins
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £4.98 Favourite in the "singer-songwriter" mostly acoustic genre - which I know doesn't exactly fit this but it's still worthy of being this high in the list.
|
 | Live from Nowhere in Particular by Joe Bonamassa
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £7.19 Blues album of the year - no question. Why oh why can artists like Joe not get more airplay and on to MTV and the like. Must be my age...
|
 | The Seldom Seen Kid by Elbow
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £5.00 Can this be my favourite "indie" album of the year? Will be many magazines' album of the year and deservedly so. Can't see how they will top this and "The fix" is my track of the year.
