10 most important albums to me
Purple RainPurple Rain by Prince & the Revolution
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.65
The most important album in my life, clued me up to my musical (only musical!) idol, and end was why i started playing guitar.
Appetite for DestructionAppetite for Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Buy new: £14.49 / Used from: £1.45
Not a bad track on it, head and shoulders above everything at the time and it just sounded honest.
NevermindNevermind by Nirvana
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.90
This was the one and true techtonic shift in music and pop culture that i ever experienced.
Pretty Hate MachinePretty Hate Machine by Nine Inch Nails
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £4.05
My first real venture into industrial waters and still by far my favourate. Trent writes simply awsome songs on this album.
Vision ThingVision Thing by Sisters of Mercy
Buy new: £15.58 / Used from: £2.82
This was my way into The Sisters... must have liked them as ive been playing in their tribute band for 12 years!
Ministry - Psalm 69Ministry - Psalm 69 by Ministry
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £2.17
Bit of an eye opener for me as the heavier vibes were easier to take with the industrial edge, a complete tour-de-force of power and social comment.
If The Beatles Had Read Hunter ... The SinglesIf The Beatles Had Read Hunter ... The Singles by The Wonder Stuff
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.48
The groove machine. One of the best British bands ever for me, exquisite pop and anthems and the groove machine ace in the hole, the late Martin Gilks.... awsome drummer.
DisintegrationDisintegration by The Cure
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.97
If you were to craft a whole album, rather than put a bunch of songs together it doesnt get any better than this.
Origin of SymmetryOrigin of Symmetry by Muse
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.57
Another classic british band and one of the best live acts ive ever seen, a true tonice in recent years that have been sparce of quality from our isles!
TenTen by Pearl Jam
Buy used from: £0.79
Stands the test of time, might not have had the direct effect of Nevermind but is a true classic album which has aged increadibly well.
