My small box of treasures
SatellitesSatellites by Vega 4
Buy used from: £6.00
Packed with emotion and sentiment, this makes me feel like I'm flying in summertime. If you could bottle the feeling of the best live gig of your life, it would play out just like Sing.
This Is Where I StandThis Is Where I Stand by Easyworld
Buy new: £11.48 / Used from: £4.91
The most original songwriting I've ever heard, check this out for tracks you have to listen to, not just hear. Best track: You and Me
In Your Honour [2CD]In Your Honour [2CD] by Foo Fighters
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.50
I love the Foo Fighters so much that sometimes I think I can't cope anymore. This CD embodies every reason why everyone in the world should feel the same way. 1 CD loud, 1 quiet. Both totally skilled.
One Part LullabyOne Part Lullaby by Folk Implosion
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £2.24
Summer sunbathing relaxed vocals drift over wandering melodies. A bit of a dreamer album really.
Kill the Last RomanticKill the Last Romantic by Easyworld
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £7.50
The last album by a truely great band that fell apart. New experimenting with their sound reaps vast rewards for Easyworld. If Tonight doesn't break your heart, nothing will.
The Colour and the ShapeThe Colour and the Shape by Foo Fighters
Buy used from: £1.35
Second is the best. Packed with Foo classics like My Hero and Everlong.
Daisies of the GalaxyDaisies of the Galaxy by Eels
Buy new: £3.34 / Used from: £3.40
This album will always be the best EELS album for me. Its happy, strange and breezy. Listening to it makes me feel like I've found a small treasure.
The Three EPsThe Three EPs by The Beta Band
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.94
Probably the best late night CD in the world, but avoid Monolith unless you want to die young.
Golden StateGolden State by Bush
Buy new: £3.70 / Used from: £2.59
Loud, raw, hypnotic and excellent. Just wonder why they've not made more albums yet really.
Palm Trees and Power LinesPalm Trees and Power Lines by Sugarcult
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £6.85
So much better than Start Static, Sugarcult have found the method here.
Morning ViewMorning View by Incubus
Buy new: £4.01 / Used from: £3.48
Everyone likes Incubus! They give you everything and more with each album. Best track is Aqueous Transmission for its oriental flavour. And frogs.
Save YourselfSave Yourself by Speedway
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £1.58
Please please disregard Genie in a Bottle - its the worst song they ever did. The whole album is just AMAZING! Its thrashy, loud and addictive.
Hot FussHot Fuss by Killers
Buy used from: £2.99
The killers should be everyone's favourite new band. And they even said Jenny was a friend of mine. (I'm jenny!)
The InvitationThe Invitation by Thirteen Senses
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.48
Catches the small venue like atmosphere on cd. Not to be missed.
Standing on ShouldersStanding on Shoulders by Atlas
Buy used from: £0.27
The first single by a band with a lot more to come. The sound is fresh with a vintage twist.
The HandlerThe Handler by Har Mar Superstar
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £3.98
I defy you to listen to DUI and to remain in your seat.
Return Of SaturnReturn Of Saturn by No Doubt
Buy new: £3.41 / Used from: £2.88
Slated by many fans for abandoning ska roots, I think this album actually gives a lot.
Everybody Got Their SomethingEverybody Got Their Something by Nikka Costa
Buy new: £3.23 / Used from: £1.50
Funky stuff
The Globe SessionsThe Globe Sessions by Sheryl Crow
Buy used from: £4.24
The album I always turn to when I need someone to be there for me. Riverwide is such a powerful song - listen to the ebb and flow of the river in her voice.
MusicforthemorningafterMusicforthemorningafter by Pete Yorn
Buy new: £5.97 / Used from: £1.50
Its a real everyday album - put it on and be happy. Plod along merrily!
A Beautiful WorldA Beautiful World by Thicke
Buy new: £5.91 / Used from: £4.54
Irresistibly upbeat, downbeat, introspective and very very playable.
Garden StateGarden State by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: £4.53 / Used from: £4.49
Since I found this album I don't think I've actually stopped to see what else there is out there. Its truely amazing and absorbing.
Tom McRaeTom McRae by Tom McRae
Buy new: £6.91 / Used from: £2.00
Not a well known talent, but he should be. Tom has a magical quality that can bring peace to almost anywhere. I particualrly like it when he goes in for the lyrical kill (The boy with the bubble gun).
I Sincerely Apologise For All The Trouble I've CausedI Sincerely Apologise For All The Trouble I've Caused by David Ford
Buy new: £6.58 / Used from: £9.99
Heart on the sleeve, blood and guts - an emotional offering that should leave you feeling fiery. If it doesn't your heart was never beating in the first place.
AnthologyAnthology by Bryan Adams
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £4.87
Everyone has their dark secret love affair. In music, mine is Bryan Adams. The dude rocks!
