Listmania!
Couple of Beers, get in touch with the soul.
NebraskaNebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.78
Quiet, cool and moving. Bruce does the business. Not everybody's cup of tea but it just takes some time - so persevere!
Born to RunBorn to Run by Bruce Springsteen
Buy used from: £5.00
The starting point to Bruce. 'Meeting across the River' paints a picture as vivid as a movie in your head.
Lost Dogs: B-Sides & RaritiesLost Dogs: B-Sides & Rarities by Pearl Jam
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £4.99
The get in touch with your soul bit really relates to disc 2, with 'wash' standing out for me, really feeling eddies first lines of the song.
Blood on the TracksBlood on the Tracks by Bob Dylan
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.48
Like any messy break up that you have ever suffered, so you thought that those wounds had healed, think again!
ReckoningReckoning by REM
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.96
I don't really know what to say about this one but that any like minded souls who like the rest of the list and don't have this album should get it quick.
Whiskey for the Holy GhostWhiskey for the Holy Ghost by Mark Lanegan
Buy used from: £5.49
No better record to find yourself to. When I listen to the songs on this album I feel that life isn't long enough, I hope that I can take this one with me to the after life.
SunriseSunrise by Elvis Presley
Buy new: £15.69 / Used from: £8.00
A young King with plenty of emotion, the version of 'Blue Moon' is a highlight as long as you can put the Man City fans out of your mind.
The Best of The Animals [VINYL]The Best of The Animals [VINYL] by Animals
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.95
Fair enough they do a lot of covers, but listen to the cover and then go and find the originals.
Youth and Young ManhoodYouth and Young Manhood by Kings Of Leon
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.99
Grow the muzzy and feel like yor travelin' the deep south - NOW!
ViolatorViolator by Depeche Mode
Buy new: £12.69 / Used from: £1.86
You may think that this is a bit too clinical to locate your inner self but 'Waiting for the Night' may prove you wrong.
Pet Sounds: Mono VersionPet Sounds: Mono Version by Beach Boys
Buy new: £6.37 / Used from: £0.83
If anyone hasn't got this album then please keep it to yourself.
The La'sThe La's by The La's
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.98
Maybe I'm biased due to the part of the land that I live in but this one is almost too good to listen to. That sounds silly but when an album touches you it's sometimes difficult to go back to.
EvergreenEvergreen by Echo & The Bunnymen
Buy used from: £0.72
Another local band. The Bunnymen don't need a silly comment to be made by me. They make great records over and over again.
CalifornicationCalifornication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Buy new: £9.78 / Used from: £2.95
Sums up the glamour/sleeze California style. Loved them for years and was really made up that they came back to form with this classic.
The Essential Johnny CashThe Essential Johnny Cash by Johnny Cash
Buy new: £11.68 / Used from: £5.49
I expect an expert could have picked out a single album to represent Johnny Cash but I'm afraid I'm just a novice, sorry.
