Possibly the best album ever, most Radiohead albums deserve a place here but this one is their strongest emotionally and musically. Let Down possesses magical healing powers.

Pure nialism, a document of Richey James's depression. His strugle with alcohol, self harming, anorexia and his inability to live in this world. is as facinating as it is beautiful and frightening.

Morrisey is the working class hero, the poet, the lover, the pauper, the comedian and so much more in these tighly wound jingle pop classics.

Bar the obvious classics R.E.M create their most atmospheric dark and life affirming album here. Epic in scale, theme and in ground covered, from the lynchings of the 20's to modern satire..

I add this because I honestly have to say its Muse's classic album. You'll admit in in years to come. Every experiment attempted is successful and every guitar and high pitched vocal hits the spot.

We all now know Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon are among the best pop artists to emerge from the 90's but this was back before anyone did. Blur is simply the best Blur album, got to love those vocals.

Lambasted by those without an open mind to music, yet so much better than Hot Fuzz it hurts, once you realise its the widescreen misplaced Americana that makes it good you've got 1 hell of an epic CD.

Just fantastic, the shoegazing jams of The Rolling People, the powerful tragic ballads and Come on is the best end to an album ever.

Floyd before the tantrums and ego but with Waters in charge, an injustace to sing about and a friend to provide a stirring stand off, ie Floyd's sweet spot.
