Albums everyone needs in their life
Jagged Little PillJagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Buy new: £6.68 / Used from: £0.38
In pretty much every "You must own these" list and for a good reason. Simply beautiful sound and intriguing and thoughtful lyrics.
FuneralFuneral by Arcade Fire
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £5.45
Brilliant and completely unique sound. A dreamscape of brilliance that does justice to the oxymoron "Instant classic".
The Best of BlurThe Best of Blur by Blur
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.98
A collection spanning their brilliant career, echoing with the versatility of Damon Albarn. From the raw, sledgehammer-like edge of "Song 2" to the anthemic destitution of "This is a low".
The Very Best Of Cat StevensThe Very Best Of Cat Stevens by Cat Stevens
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.48
Now Yusuf Islam, this collection holds the epitome of pure pop music.
A Rush of Blood to the HeadA Rush of Blood to the Head by Coldplay
Buy new: £5.28 / Used from: £0.69
Coldplay's greatest works, in my personal opinion. Euphoric Britpop such as "Clocks" to the timid and soulful "Amsterdam" or "Rush of Blood to the Head" powered by Martin's melancholy vocals
99 by Damien Rice
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.22
The Irish troubador's second outing with as much rawness and heart choking lyrics as before, but all together more symphonic.
White LadderWhite Ladder by David Gray
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £0.01
No one can deny the majesty of this album. Perfect sounds and lyrics reflecting the purity of the human soul, this is truly a masterpiece that will stand the test of time. Just buy it.
The Last BroadcastThe Last Broadcast by Doves
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.48
The Mancunian indie rockers make a welcome return after their ill fate with a sound, one step in the past and one firmly forward into pastures interstellar
Blinking Lights And Other RevelationsBlinking Lights And Other Revelations by Eels
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.92
A double album of beauty from an extraordinary musical mind. There's a clarity and diversity within the music that offers something that feels like it's on another level of subconscience.
Comfort in Sound [Special Edition CD + DVD]Comfort in Sound [Special Edition CD + DVD] by Feeder
Buy used from: £1.74
It's impossible to choose from their discography but this was my first introduction. Words can't describe the relentless locomotion of their sound and the inspiring nature of their lyrics. Buy it now.
Dizzy up the GirlDizzy up the Girl by The Goo Goo Dolls
Buy new: £10.48 / Used from: £0.64
A staggering skyscraping masterpiece that reaches for the stars and succeeds. Buy it now
Demon Days CD+DVDDemon Days CD+DVD by Gorillaz
Buy used from: £2.82
More genius from the mind of Damon Albarn. An album that has achieved perfection, Feel Good Inc. was definetly the anthem for 2005. Zombie hip hop is the future.
