|
 | In The Future by Black Mountain
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £3.95 Psychedelic, rocky, folky - it is no concidence that 4 of my top 5 are loosely connected to what may be termed Americana...very loosely!
|

 | Runnin Wild by Airbourne
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £6.06 Marvelously mental rock and AC/DC style roll. One of their tracks is on the new Need for Speed game don't you know! But after repeated listening it becomes a bit wearing. Still worth 5 stars though

 | The Great Northern Whalekill by Minus

|
 | The Scarecrow by Tobias Sammet's Avantasia
Buy new: £13.69 / Used from: £12.12 Highest prog album in my chart so far. This one is a grower though and rewards repeated listens so may end up higher. Nope it's gone down, but it's still pretty fair.
