 | Sound Affects by The Jam
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £3.98 One of the first Lps I bought as a kid, I used to play it to death! Possibly the best Jam album in my opinion. This moved me on after listening to Madness and early 80's chart fodder!
|
 | Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.50 I heard 'My adidas' back in the day and I was hooked. It took me a while to fully appreciate the album as this was far removed from what I was into. Bought Licenced to ill Beasties album also!!
|
 | Symbols (Led Zeppelin 4) by Led Zeppelin
Buy used from: £4.72 I bought every single Led Zep album after getting this - Legends. This triggered me seeking out 70's rock - Sabbath, Deep Purple etc!!
|
 | The Nephilim by Fields of the Nephilim
Buy new: £6.68 / Used from: £5.24 Aah yes, the Goths!! This epitomises the scene from the late 80's, I kind of got into Sisters of Mercy & The mission etc, because of the Neph, they were for me grittier and heavier though!!
|
 | Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £4.99 I think this was the first 'Thrash Metal' album I got into, followed by Megadeth, Exodus, Slayer and the rest!!! Moved onto Nomeansno, Prong, Gangreen & Helmet from here!!
|
 | Bleach by Nirvana
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £2.50 Bought this on vinyl when it came out! Started me off on the whole grunge thing, Tad, Mudhoney, Soundgarden et al. This is still my fav Nirvana release for the raw energy!!
|
 | Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Buy new: £7.18 / Used from: £2.33 This album re-ignited my love of hip hop, I bought all PE's albums, moved on to NWA, Ice T, and Ice Cube's solo stuff for a start.
|
 | Orbital 2 by Orbital
Buy new: £6.68 / Used from: £2.97 Heard this whilst working as an xmas temp for Our Price. Bought it and got into System 7, Eat static, Underworld, The Orb & Drum & bass stuff - Photek, Roni Size & Goldie etc!!
|
 | Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.42 This album was to become a major influence on me. It is in effect the gateway to the next 10 years of my musical leanings! For the next few years DJ Krush, Portishead & anything on Ninja Tune was mine
|
 | Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Buy new: £16.09 / Used from: £4.46 Herbie Hancock was a natural progression from listening to Jazzy hip hop beats, this kicked off my love of James Brown, 70's funk and Jazz with Miles Davis & Donald Byrd
|
 | Vocal Studies And Uprock Narratives by Prefuse 73
Buy new: £11.69 / Used from: £4.92 This album sounds so fresh to me, its hip hop, but its not, its electronica, but its not, its organic, but its not. It moved me towards a whole different sound. Daedelus, Caural and Four tet etc.

![As Heard on Radio Soulwax Vol.2 [Belgian Import]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/415J0RS2Y2L._SL75_.jpg) | As Heard on Radio Soulwax Vol.2 [Belgian Import] by Various Artists
Buy new: £12.69 / Used from: £4.23 This introduced me to the mash up and gave me a fresh appreciation of mainstream sounds and classics like dolly parton and 10cc. I bought some ELO for ****s sake!!
|
 | Vaudeville Villain by Viktor Vaughn
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £7.03 I love Doom. Probably my favourite hip hop voice. Discovered him late through raps on Prefuse 73 stuff. His abstract raps are genius. I bought all his stuff.This is possibly my favourite though!!
|
 | Act Your Waist Size by Count Bass D
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £6.20 Where I am at now I guess, links with MF doom and the underground Hip Hop scene.I love Count Bass D's lofi hip hop sound. Buying Stonesthrow, Def Jux etc.
|
 | Now, Listen Again! by DJ Food & DK
Buy new: £9.48 / Used from: £5.00 The last album I bought (at the time of writing obviously!) A superb eclectic mix akin to their 1st solid steel Cd. Just my bag. They represent my tastes and provide a great summary for my list!!!
