 | Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers
Buy used from: £3.47 Bought this album on the strength of good reviews. Excellent piece of work where Clapton lends his hand to re-work blues standards to amazing effect. A must for any fan of British blues rock.
|
 | The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Buy used from: £6.00 The Smiths greatest album. Superb guitar work from Johnny Marr and great lyrics from Morrissey. For Smiths newcomers, this is the the place to start.
|
 | The Bends by Radiohead
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £8.85 Often overlshadowed by OK Computer as their finest hour. However, The Bends combines scathing riffs with moments of elegance and beauty to great effect.Bulletproof & Fake Plastic Trees are highlights
|
 | Roman Candle by Elliott Smith
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.99 Elliott Smith's whispering vocal and his superb finger picking guitar work make this an unmissable album. His debut but for me his best effort.
|
 | Abbey Road by The Beatles
Buy used from: £5.62 Some of the songs on here are the Beatles finest. Harrison's Something is superb, possibly their best. Lennon's I Want You is simple but amazing. The medley at the end makes this an all time classic.
|
 | White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Buy new: £7.18 / Used from: £4.49 Still the White Stripes best. They will probably never better this. If you like loud, raw in your face blues guitar riffs then look no further than this.
|
 | Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Buy new: £8.48 / Used from: £4.99 Its a shame Ryan Adams has not been able to re-create the genuis of Heartbreaker. Some of the ballads written on this album are some of the finest somes of all time. 'In my time of need' is stunning.
|
 | Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Buy used from: £5.70 The Stones at their best. The bluesy feel to this album from Richards' guitar and the attitude in Jagger's vocal make this an all time classic. 'Sympathy for the Devil' is a particular highlight.
|
 | Beatles for Sale by The Beatles
Buy new: £10.28 / Used from: £5.40 Often overlooked, this is a great album. Its worth listening to this to remember how great they were before Sgt. Peppers, Revolver etc. A great album and where Lennon & McCartney started to flourish.
|
 | Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.50 Everyone has thei own opinion as to which is Dyaln's best. But no-one would argue that this shouldnt be up there. Dylan re-writes the rule book and raises the bar for what music can achieve. Timeless.
