 | The Doors by The Doors
Buy new: £6.68 / Used from: £5.00 The best album ever. Simply, shockingly, amazingly good. Every single track is a classic. My personal favourite being the great, jazzy, improvisation, genius that is "Light My Fire". Astounding album.
|
 | The Velvet Underground and Nico by Velvet Underground
Buy new: £6.28 / Used from: £3.90 An orgy. This psychedelic, deranged, perverted sound that Lou Reed gives is astonishing. Never sold well in it's time but it's finally been recognised for what it is...genius.
|
 | Songs of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Buy used from: £5.25 This album makes me weak at the knees. Not a single bad moment on the whole album. Intensely deep lyrics by the greatest lyricist of all time - Leonard Cohen. Fantastic and shockingly under rated.
|
 | Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dylan
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.95 Amazing. Bob Dylan always has something good to offer, but this is the cherry on the delicately iced sponge cake with a creamy/jammy filling. Another fantastic lyricist and simply awesome sounds.
|
 | The Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd
Buy used from: £3.29 Amazing. The musical version of Syd Barret's insane mind. The best possible debut album for a band such as Pink Floyd. "Flaming" and "Interstellar Overdrive" are the best of the album. A stunner.
|
 | Faust by Faust
Buy new: £10.98 Often expells belief. Utterly deranged Krautrock which never fails to impress. Under rated and unheard of by most. A truly epic mesh of great sounds. Shockingly good.
|
 | Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix Experience
Buy new: £10.48 Hendrix's finest. Another album where every sound is delightful. Hendrix's personal favourite too. "1983" and "Voodoo Child" are the long epics that sell the album. Fantastic!
|
 | Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band
Buy new: £6.58 / Used from: £2.95 An album that is more often than not, unexplainable. A "Marmite Album", you either love it or dismiss it as the worst album ever. It is innovative with sweetly deranged insanity. A must!
|
 | In the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson
Buy new: £6.98 True progressive rock. As progressive rock as progressive rock gets. Supremely fantastic. My personal favourite is "I Talk To The Wind". A stunning debut by King Crimson.
|
 | Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Buy new: £6.88 / Used from: £6.53 The best of the "classic" Pink Floyd. A super sequel to their classic "The Dark Side Of The Moon". A very consistent album and again, not a bad moment. All 5 songs are classics.
|
 | The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £4.89 An under rated classic. Truly epic with impressive yet unusal vocal performances. A lot is to be learned from this album and it is a must-listen!
|
 | Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Buy used from: £7.99 Simply amazing. This album's chaotic sound is stunning and gave music a make over. It is like a scream in the night, another must-listen.
|
 | Abbey Road by The Beatles
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £8.70 A lot of you might be shocked that the first Beatles album of the list is this low down and that it isn't Sgt. Pepper! Tough. The Fab 4's best and a cracking album, the medley at the end is fantastic!
|
 | The River by Bruce Springsteen
Buy used from: £4.24 A supreme work. Definately Springsteen's finest. This album has everything needed of an album. It is full of catchy songs. This album is a generic sound turned unique.
|
 | Strange Days by The Doors
Buy new: £8.79 / Used from: £1.99 Smashing album. The Doors can certainly pull off an amazing album. A stunning sequel to their first self-titled album. The epic "When The Music's Over" never fails to impress, nor does the rest.
|
 | Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Buy new: £4.88 / Used from: £3.05 Another classic by Bob Dylan! Containing the classic "Like A Rolling Stone", the mysterious "Ballad Of A Thin Man", and the personal "Desolation Row". An album of personal lyrics and great sounds.
|
 | Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Buy used from: £1.54 Reggae's first appearance on the list and the legendary Bob Marley's finest work. Full of classic songs and another album where every moment is good. Such a beauty of an album.
|
 | Zen Arcade by Hüsker Dü
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £14.21 Fantastic album. A punk nightmare. The final track, the long, epic "Reoccuring Dreams" completely clinches the album as one of the best. It is a sonic genius album.
|
 | Revolver by The Beatles
Buy new: £11.28 / Used from: £3.39 The Beatles' second best album. An album packed with catchy tunes like the famous "Yellow Submarine" and of course the futuristic, timeless, psychedelic classic - "Tomorrow Never Knows". A fab album.
|
 | Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix Experience
Buy new: £5.78 / Used from: £4.89 The Jimi Hendrix Experience's debut album, and what an album. Hendrix's stunning guitar playing never ceases to amaze me. A must for Hendrix fans and general rockers alike.
