The bare essentials part 2.
TidalTidal by Fiona Apple
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.92
Fiona's debut is often said to be an album of "Unfocused talent" but I think this is what makes the album so great and so compelling.
When the PawnWhen the Pawn by Fiona Apple
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.89
One of the rare examples of a second album as good as the debut.
Exile in GuyvilleExile in Guyville by Liz Phair
Buy used from: £3.85
Liz's debut. Raw and rocky in the vein of the Stones. The song writing is intelligent and intresting, with exciting musical compositions.
Whip-SmartWhip-Smart by Liz Phair
Buy new: £14.19 / Used from: £2.95
This is the Liz album I love. So visual, it plays like a movie. Delicious.

Globe SessionsGlobe Sessions by Sheryl Crow

C'mon, C'monC'mon, C'mon by Sheryl Crow
Buy new: £8.48 / Used from: £0.54
Sadly, the end of the chain. A good album but after two great albums, it seems a bit poor. "Weather Channel" is the best on offer.
The Very Best Of Sheryl CrowThe Very Best Of Sheryl Crow by Sheryl Crow
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.99
A great look at a very good career. More "best hits" than "best songs" but the new songs are good.

Rich, velvety and loud. The songwriting pulls it down though.
Carbon GlacierCarbon Glacier by Laura Veirs

She hooked me with the soft croons on Jealousy
Sleeping with GhostsSleeping with Ghosts by Placebo

The only Placebo album I have, but it alone convinces me they're a very talented band.
No AngelNo Angel by Dido

I really like this album. She has a nice voice and a good message,
Life for RentLife for Rent by Dido
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.01
She's just a normal person singing about normal life that we all know in a normal way. And it works. She's believable.

No Need To Argue (The Complete Sessions 1994-1995)No Need To Argue (The Complete Sessions 1994-1995) by The Cranberries
Buy new: £6.18
Sometimes it packs a punch, sometimes it goes by un-noticed. The extra tracks are the best.
