|
 | Warehouse Songs and Stories by Hüsker Dü

|

Buy new: £5.78 / Used from: £4.89 Probably invented nice tunes on loud guitar...
|
 | The Sun Is Often Out by Longpigs
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.23 Absolutely stunning. Also check out 'Mobile Home' - a drunken Ziggy Startdust for the 90's
|
 | The Bends by Radiohead
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.48 'OK Computer' is probably my favourite guitar-rock album of all time, but this wins on the loud guitar front

![Strangelove [VINYL]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZYPQ5QG2L._SL75_.jpg) | Strangelove [VINYL] by Strangelove
Vanished in the great indie shakeout mid-nineties that saw off Longpigs et al - can't even find this on CD now, but still a genre-defining moment
|
 | Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea by PJ Harvey
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £2.19 Spoiled for choice again - I love 'Is This Desire?', but the guitars win on this list
|

Buy used from: £7.00 Guitar-based funk from the other George Clinton
|
 | F# A# (Infinity) by Godspeed You Black Emperor!

|
 | Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Buy new: £3.18 / Used from: £0.99 Julian Cope appears to have listened to some Velvet Underground...
|
 | White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground

|
 | The Decline of British Sea Power by British Sea Power

|
 | Do Make Say Think by Do Make Say Think
Buy new: £12.69 / Used from: £12.18 Wrong photo, but this starts with 10 mins of F# minor - at last I can dispose of Wish You Were Here and its 10 minutes of G minor for tuning my guitar!

Listmania!
