 | Kimono My House by Sparks
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £5.99 This is an incredible album, if it were to be recorded today it would still rank as an album of great imagination and lyrical post moderism. It`s a heady mixture of punk, glam, prog and pre new wave.
|
 | Close to the Edge by Yes
Buy new: £6.08 / Used from: £3.00 A classic album reduced by some as pretentious prog-rock nonsense. If only musicians today were as bold yet melodic as these guys!
|
 | Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.45 You`ll love it or you`ll hate it...but on PET SOUNDS you`ll hear some of the most inventive and beautifully melodic music ever put to tape.
|
 | The Village Green Preservation Society by The Kinks
Buy new: £3.48 / Used from: £3.99 Whilst bands around them chose to pursue the `heavy heavy` approach, Ray Davies went under the skin of english life...the result...this gem of an album!
|
 | #1 Record/Radio City by Big Star
Buy used from: £13.95 Beautiful songwriting which went against the grain of the prog-rock of the time. Two WONDERFUL albums on one CD...bliss!
|
 | Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.69 The first Bowie album to hit the mark with every song. It`s fragile, daring, lyrical and always intelligent. A joyous introduction to the music of the thin white duke.
|
 | In Utero by Nirvana
Buy new: £4.48 / Used from: £0.98 The best album to come out of America for the last twenty years. The reason Kurt Cobain still towers above all the peers which owe him so much. Difficult and painful, this is essential music.
|
 | Themeology: The Best of John Barry
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.41 Soundtrack albums don`t come much better than this! Try spotting just how many bands have been influenced by this great composer.
|
 | For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £7.00 The second ROXY album from 1973...it still sounds amazing. An odd and visceral album. Again...spot the spot the influence on SO many of today`s half-hearted bands.
|
 | Music in a Doll's House/Family Entertainment by Family
Buy used from: £30.00 The debut `Music in a doll`s house` (1968) is a hugely under-rated diamond of a post psychedelic, folksy, rock, prog hey day. Full of brilliant melodies and idiosyncratic charm. You`ll love it!
