Eclectic Modern Music
Physical GraffitiPhysical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £7.42
Raw, unpolished and astoundingly good.
The Colour and the ShapeThe Colour and the Shape by Foo Fighters
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.68
One of the greatest albums ever made. Solid all the way through.
Final StrawFinal Straw by Snow Patrol
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £1.54
I didn't quite expect this to be so good when I bought it. Standouts tracks have to be Spitting Games and Half the Fun (UK bonus track), although all the songs are good/very good.
ToxicityToxicity by System of a Down
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £1.64
Cheeky rock. Superb almost throughout.
Relationship Of CommandRelationship Of Command by At the Drive In
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.44
My first ATDI album. Put down for six months and then discovered its brilliance. Unfortuantely they are no more.
Rage Against the MachineRage Against the Machine by Rage Against the Machine
Buy new: £4.78 / Used from: £1.94
Sorry for this, hyped and pushed by many, but far too good not to recommend.
FrogstompFrogstomp by Silverchair
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.43
As above, another classic though. I heard that Johns felt he never beat this album, and it did him great damage - he was 15 at the time.
Songs For The DeafSongs For The Deaf by Queens Of The Stone Age
Buy new: £3.48 / Used from: £2.45
Initially underestimated this excellent album. If it had contained the original release of Lost Art it would have been damn near perfect.
As Heard on Radio Soulwax Vol.2 [Belgian Import]As Heard on Radio Soulwax Vol.2 [Belgian Import] by Various Artists
Buy new: £12.69 / Used from: £4.23
Epic in proportions. Excellent cuts. Simultaneously comic and classic.
Much Against Everyone's AdviceMuch Against Everyone's Advice by Soulwax
Buy used from: £1.39
The above in a different guise. One of the few albums were the title track is by far the greatest.
The Optimist LPThe Optimist LP by Turin Brakes
Buy new: £9.97 / Used from: £0.99
Quirky songs which some define as modern folk. State of Things is brilliant.
Achtung BabyAchtung Baby by U2
Buy new: £5.68 / Used from: £1.22
Something different from U2. Very good though.
Tenacious DTenacious D by Tenacious D
Buy new: £4.88 / Used from: £0.99
Musically superb. Funny, but not for the kiddies.
Speakerboxxx / The Love Below [Explicit Version]Speakerboxxx / The Love Below [Explicit Version] by OutKast
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £0.01
Quirky hip-hop. Undeniablly different. Clean cut available, although I'm sure it will have been butchered.
Recurring Dream: The Very Best of Crowded HouseRecurring Dream: The Very Best of Crowded House by Crowded House
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.01
Unless like me you love them so much you'll get all the albums then this will do. The bonus version from about 10 years ago had a superb live CD. Try and get your hands on it if you can.
The Blues Brothers Complete (2CD)The Blues Brothers Complete (2CD) by The Blues Brothers
Buy new: £27.89 / Used from: £6.95
Worth it for some of the standout tracks (like She caught the Katy) and LEGENDARY guest artists.
The Matrix: Music from & Inspired by the Motion PictureThe Matrix: Music from & Inspired by the Motion Picture by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: £10.48 / Used from: £0.01
Perfect film, almost perfect music. A number of great artists on this. From what I've heard Hive is an unsung hero.
The Man Comes Around [Bonus Tracks]The Man Comes Around [Bonus Tracks] by Johnny Cash
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.94
The only one I don't own. Heard Satisfied Mind on the Kill Bill Vol.1 OST and then listened to Hurt. Really quite phenomenal.
