 | In a Silent Way by Miles Davis
Buy used from: £4.90 Jazzy, funky, ambient, psychedelic brilliance that actually improves with each listen. The perfect late night album - if you have to give it a label, call it 'Space Music'.
|
 | Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Buy used from: £8.39 'Let It Bleed' also qualifies, but this just edges it. Effortlessly straddling the sixties and seventies with some of the Stones' best songs. After this, they turned exile before becoming parodies.
|
 | Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Buy new: £6.68 / Used from: £2.69 Hypnotic, timeless soul music from a master vocalist. Van got it perfect with his first proper solo album - you can't listen to just one song.
|
 | Frank Sinatra Sings For Only The Lonely by Frank Sinatra
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.99 The perfect voice finally gets the songs it deserves: 'Angel Eyes', 'One For My Baby', 'Goodbye', et al - every track just oozes class. Even Frank considered this his best record
|
 | Soul Mining by The The
Buy used from: £1.27 'Uncertain Smile' with its sublime Jools Holland solo proves the 80's weren't all bad. Get the 8 track version of Matt Johnson's masterpiece if you can - the last track makes it perfect.
|
 | White Album - The Beatles by The Beatles
Buy used from: £13.94 Okay, Revolver's probably more consistently great, but this one's got it all; from Beach Boys rockers to lullabies with almost every musical genre in between.
|
 | Elvis at Sun by Elvis Presley
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.09 Did Elvis ever improve upon 'Mystery Train' or 'Trying to Get to You'? Did anyone else, for that matter? And the rest of the album ain't exactly chopped liver. Rock music starts here.
