Undoubtedly Pink Floyd at their greatest; an album that spent over 13 years on the US album chart.
The Köln ConcertThe Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett

One man, one piano - 52 minutes of incredible improvised jazz.
Reign in BloodReign in Blood by Slayer

The high water mark of metal - an album that raised the bar for every other metal band.
Poetic Champions ComposePoetic Champions Compose by Van Morrison
Not Van Morrison's best known album, but eleven classics, right from the stunning instrumental opener "Spanish Steps".
BarrettBarrett by Syd Barrett
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.49
Original Pink Floyd frontman Syd Barrett's second album is a more coherent outing than the first; listen late at night, in a mellow mood.
Back To Black: Deluxe EditionBack To Black: Deluxe Edition by Amy Winehouse
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £6.70
If you've heard this already, you know why it's here. If you don't, but you've heard the hype, you'll know when you hear it - the words "instant classic" can't be misused here...
KoyaanisqatsiKoyaanisqatsi by Philip Glass
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.24
Philip Glass's classic soundtrack still sounds as eerie and chilling as it ever did.
Lah-Di-DahLah-Di-Dah by Jake Thackray
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.95
Fits the bill as a "best of" for Yorkshire's answer to George Brassens than any other album.
SabotageSabotage by Black Sabbath
Buy used from: £7.99
There are other Black Sabbath albums, but there aren't any better ones. For a change, an album with no filler, no drum solo and no overblown concept...
CityCity by Vangelis
Buy new: £4.72 / Used from: £1.89
A Vangelis album that nearly sank without trace, which is a shame as it was an excellent return to form and remains (IMO) his best.
