 | Southside by Texas
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.01 Debut effort - most consistent, though White on Blonde pushes it close
|
 | All Over the Place by The Bangles
Buy used from: £2.37 Debut again - wonderfully raw and sadly too short
|
 | Be Yourself Tonight by Eurythmics
Buy used from: £0.36 Strong effort here, with the glorious There Must Be An Angel standing out
|
 | Katydids by The Katydids
Buy used from: £0.99 Split up in the early 90's - this disc is just stunningly good pop (Adam Seymour is now a Pretenders guitarist)
|
 | Garbage by Garbage
Buy used from: £0.01 Surprisingly difficult to get into at first, but what a grower
|
 | Voulez-Vous by Abba
Buy new: £3.48 / Used from: £2.77 Their best album by far and If It Wasn't For The Nights their best-ever non-single
|
 | Cosmic Thing by The B-52's
Buy new: £7.48 / Used from: £0.50 Not a duff track in sight - also try the US CD single of Love Shack/Channel Z (great mixes)
|
 | Parallel Lines by Blondie
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.81 At their career peak here - perfect! Avoid their last 2 comeback albums and get this instead
|
 | Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde
Buy used from: £4.65 This disc turned me into a big fan of theirs - a gothic theme to this, but none the worse for it
|
 | Indigo Girls by Indigo Girls
Buy used from: £27.27 Major label debut is beautifully crafted, though they've lost their way from Swamp Ophelia onwards
|
 | Learning to Crawl by The Pretenders
Buy new: £8.79 / Used from: £3.99 Opening 2 tracks are sensational and the rest keeps up the high standard
|
 | Look Sharp! by Roxette
Buy new: £6.68 / Used from: £0.01 They've been trying to live up to this great debut for ages and haven't managed it
|
 | It's Better To Travel by Swing Out Sister
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £0.55 Another amazing debut - jazzy pop at its finest (plus some extra mixes that are worth having)
|
 | Josie and the Pussycats by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.16 Kay Hanley (Letters to Cleo) fronts this fantastic guitar pop/rock effort - don't let the cartoon band idea dissuade you
|
 | Primitive Love by Miami Sound Machine
Buy used from: £11.89 This cracker (has an awful pic of Gloria on the front) - complete with remixes - made me a fan (Gloria's solo stuff just doesn't come near to this though)
|
 | Gold: Greatest Hits by The Carpenters
Buy new: £20.49 / Used from: £9.98 A bit sugary perhaps, but a fantastic combo of Karen's voice and some timeless pop gems
|
 | Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Buy new: £7.48 / Used from: £8.89 Second CD is pointless, but this only just edges out 'Tusk' which is also worth getting
|
 | Republica by Republica
Buy used from: £0.01 I got the limited edition version with a (poor) live 2nd CD - this album is shouty in places, but still very listenable
|
 | The It Girl by Sleeper
Buy used from: £1.24 So-called 'difficult' 2nd album turned out to be easy! Fine pouty pop indeed
|
![Gold Medal [CD + DVDA]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51DK13ATTAL._SL75_.jpg) | Gold Medal [CD + DVDA] by The Donnas
Buy new: £12.69 / Used from: £1.78 More commercial sound than earlier albums and the better for it
|
Listmania!
