My life in albums
The Beatles: the White AlbumThe Beatles: the White Album by The Beatles
Buy new: £17.36 / Used from: £11.30
The Beatles was practically all I listened to as a kid. "Back in the USSR" stands out for some reason...
ParklifeParklife by Blur
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £0.50
Musical tastes broadened as far as Britpop in my early teens. Not the best, but definitely the most iconic Blur album.
DookieDookie by Green Day
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £0.95
The ultimate musical-slacker-heros! I think I got into trouble for etching "Green Day Rock" onto my table at school once. Ahhh, the rebeliousness of youth...
BlurBlur by Blur
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.20
I quite like how both I, and Blur's music, seemed to mature synchronously. Still my favourate Blur album.
The Man WhoThe Man Who by Travis
Buy new: £1.49 / Used from: £0.01
I kind of (wrongly) think of Travis as my generation's "The Smiths". I still love you Fran!
Is This ItIs This It by Strokes
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.45
I've pretty much never seen anything that is as cool as the "Last Night" video. A-Level Maths wouldn't have been the same without singing The Strokes at every possible opportunity...
Through Being CoolThrough Being Cool by Saves The Day
Buy new: £7.64 / Used from: £3.00
I have a weakness for emo-punk-pop and this is most definitely how to do emo-punk-pop.
ClarityClarity by Jimmy Eat World
Buy used from: £5.00
Quite simply unbelievable; my favourate album ever. From another amazon list: "Absolutely remarkable, defies genre, just music in it's purest form". Couldn't put it better myself.
OwenOwen by Owen
Buy used from: £5.30
Listened to it every night for months on end at one point. This is what my brain would sound like if it were music.
Deja EntenduDeja Entendu by Brand New
Buy used from: £5.00
Lyrically probably the most impressive thing I've ever heard. Lacey deserves the title of the "American Morrissey" and I probably want to be him a little too much.
