THE GREATEST OF THE GREATS ! (just great music)
Who's NextWho's Next by The Who
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £6.75
This is basically the best Who album of all, and one that is never far away from my CD player. This deluxe version comes with a bonus live disc. Nice !
The Harder They ComeThe Harder They Come by Jimmy Cliff
Buy new: £17.09 / Used from: £5.77
This soundtrack to the cult movie is packed with what we now consider reggae greats. Worth the price for Desmond Dekkers version of Shanty Town alone !
London CallingLondon Calling by The Clash
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.00
This classic album saw the band jump from the sinking ship that was punk rock to make a record that embraced reggae, rock n roll & dancehall ! Words cannot do this record justice ! Buy it !
Solid AirSolid Air by John Martyn
Buy new: £3.48 / Used from: £1.29
All I can say is that Damien Rice would KILL ! to make a record like this. 'May You Never' is one of the greatest songs ever written !
Rock Art and the X-Ray StyleRock Art and the X-Ray Style by Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.97
The comeback album ! and we wernt left dissapointed. from his trademark punk rock to African Beats and even a little electronica thrown in. This must be the greatest comback record of them all !
Global a Go-GoGlobal a Go-Go by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros
Buy new: £7.38 / Used from: £7.29
Must be the most diverse Strummer record. Somehow Joe and the boys managed to throw all their musical influences into the melting pot and came up with a real gem ! It shouldnt work but it does !
StreetcoreStreetcore by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros
Buy new: £7.48 / Used from: £3.78
The final album ! As we all know Joe died halfway through the making of it. but his left us with arguably his best work. Try listening to 'Silver & Gold' without having a lump in your throat.

Ex Pulp & Lonpigs guitarists first LP is one of great beauty. This record would soothe any hangover & melt the heart of the devil himself
LowedgesLowedges by Richard Hawley
Buy used from: £14.95
generally more upbeat than Late Night Final, Still there are the trademark melodies & of course Richards amazing voice. I dont think this guys knows how to make a less than brilliant record.

Weller really found his stride on this his 3rd solo release, tuneful, soulfull and brilliantly played throughout
Kick Out the JamsKick Out the Jams by MC5

One of the most powerful albums ever made, certainly the best live album I have ever come accross. The hairs on your neck just stand on end when they launch into the into to Ramblin Rose.
