My favourite albums
SleepwalkingSleepwalking by Adoration
Buy new: £13.98 / Used from: £8.35
A modern take on an old school Cure/Mission/Chameleons sound.
Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me - Deluxe EditionKiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me - Deluxe Edition by The Cure
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £7.78
Great album with all the highs, lows and beauty from what you'd expect of The Cure at their best. The bonus disc has some interesting instrumental versions.
The TopThe Top by The Cure
Buy new: £4.98
Quite possibly the most under-rated Cure album, and I too have been guilty of ignoring it. Classic Cure sounds here.
Bloodflowers (CD)Bloodflowers (CD) by The Cure
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.09
This album takes you on a journey of deep thought and self realisation. Essential regular listening.
DisintegrationDisintegration by The Cure
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.83
Classic, angsty Cure here, beautiful keys and driving bass lines.
WishWish by The Cure
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.00
Cure pop masterpiece.
Aural DelightAural Delight by The Mission
Buy new: £10.79 / Used from: £12.99
Stripped back versions of some of the later tracks here, and stripping them back makes them all the more beautiful.
Carved In SandCarved In Sand by The Mission
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.25
Take off the first track, and this would possibly be the best Mission album.
The First ChapterThe First Chapter by The Mission
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £4.49
Classic Mision sounds here. Top stuff.
AuraAura by The Mission UK

Personally this is one of my favourites. 'Shine Like The Stars' and 'Dragonfly' are beautiful Mission classics.

My personal favourite Wonder Stuff album, full of texture and beauty in tracks like 'We Hold Eachother Up', and heated emotion in 'Angelica Maybe'.
The Joshua Tree (Original Recording Remastered)The Joshua Tree (Original Recording Remastered) by U2
Buy new: £9.58 / Used from: £7.04
What can I say? 'With Or Without You' is a classic.
Farewell to the ShadeFarewell to the Shade by And Also the Trees
There's something about this album that I find very addictive. 'Misfortunes' is totally brilliant.

Breathtaking, oustaning work. The best songs and production to be found on any All About Eve album. Julianne has never sounded better.
DisgraceDisgrace by karmadeva
Buy new: £8.79 / Used from: £1.49
Modern sounds that take on the old school elements. I personally rate this band as being one of the best underground bands around.
