Turn On The Bright Lights + Bonus Track (Aust Excl (Australian Import)Turn On The Bright Lights + Bonus Track (Aust Excl (Australian Import) by Interpol
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.45
Possibly the best debut album you can find. Some hauntingly good tracks make this the better album from an immense band
Want OneWant One by Rufus Wainwright
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £1.50
Rufus Wainwright has remarkable talent: Poses and the new album are also good but this was the first of his that I got and I think its the best. Tracks 1,2 & 6 are particularly original and inventive
From a Basement on the HillFrom a Basement on the Hill by Elliott Smith
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £3.89
Listening to Elliott Smith's final album is a moving experience- he commited suicide before it was released- and tracks like A Fond Farewell are very moving. Buy it to make yourself think about life.
ReverenceReverence by Faithless
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £0.48
Just a great album- I have seen them live twice and they are amazing. If you don't love Reverence then you're no friend of mine and if you don't love Baseball Cap there's something wrong with you!
Blood Sugar Sex MagikBlood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.68
Funky Chilli Peppers album with the classics Give It Away and Under the Bridge. This will get you through overnight free will essay and macroeconomic assignment alike!
The Lost RiotsThe Lost Riots by Hope of the States
Buy used from: £0.10
This is an excellent album from last year. Worth trying if you like Interpol I reckon- Hope of the States' album has got the same kind of melodies that stick in your mind.
I Might Be Wrong (Live Recordings)I Might Be Wrong (Live Recordings) by Radiohead
Buy new: £9.88 / Used from: £1.98
This was the first Radiohead album I got. Thom Yorke's voice is incredible on Like Spinning Plates and the the rest are all awesome Radiohead classics. Equally good at getting you through essay crises
Cornish is Fun: An Informal Course in Living CornishCornish is Fun: An Informal Course in Living Cornish by Heini Gruffudd
Buy new: £4.95 / Used from: £45.02
I put this in for a laugh. But, seriously, not enough people speak Cornish (I don't). So buy, learn and impress your friends (maybe)!
Destroy Rock & RollDestroy Rock & Roll by Mylo
Buy used from: £0.35
Cool album by the suave Scotsman. It's just dance music so not everyone's cup of tea but Drop the Pressure and, to an extent, Valley of the Dolls are both dangerously addictive.
Fight for Your MindFight for Your Mind by Ben Harper
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £1.64
Ben Harper is one of the most interesting artists: his mix of political songs (Excuse Me Mr) and gospel influenced tunes (Power of the Gospel, surprisingly) make for good listening.
