 | Led Zeppelin II: Remastered by Led Zeppelin

|
 | Truth: Remastered by Jeff Beck
Buy new: £4.52 / Used from: £4.00 IMO this beats Zeppelins debut hands down. It was first and is just so much more adventurous. The dogs do dahs.
|
 | Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Buy new: £9.53 / Used from: £8.80 Rock, country & blues from the start of their golden period. I love it.
|
 | Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Buy used from: £7.83 A wall of pulsating, enveloping noise. My album of the 90's. Fantastic to hear live as well :-)
|
 | Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.94 The most upbeat of his three wonderful albums,. If you've never heard him before check out 'Treasury' as a starter.
|
 | Zitilites by Kashmir
Buy used from: £12.00 If you can find The Aftermath buy it instead. A live version of this album at Vega. Stupendous.
|
 | It's Not How Far You Fall It's the Way You Land by Soulsavers
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £9.16 Bought on an impulse and never regretted. How is it possible to miss such class sometimes? Bewildering.
|
 | Solid Air by John Martyn
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.00 Laid-back blues mixed jazz. Essential late night listening. Lights out, candles, blah de blah.
|
 | Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix Experience
Buy new: £4.94 / Used from: £3.99 My favourie Hendrix album. Not an easy choice though. If you want the hits choose 'Electric Ladyland'
|
 | Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.25 Down-tempo and none the worse for it. It will stay with you always.
|
 | Unknown Pleasures: Remastered & Expanded by Joy Division

|
 | Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub

Buy new: £3.97 / Used from: £3.23 Before all the silliness started Rod was the dogs do dahs (see Truth above).
|

Buy new: £9.14 Top prog album. Melodies and loads of mellotron - lovely.
|
 | The Life Pursuit by Belle & Sebastian
Buy new: £6.46 / Used from: £2.63 No Isobel. Just a happy, upbeat album. Not for B & S afficiandos though, 'cos you need to have your head stuck up your ass for that.
|
 | Stranded by Roxy Music
Buy new: £4.13 / Used from: £3.29 Song for Europe followed by mother of Pearl. Enough for me.
