Should be naff. Isn't

	Aquarius by Aqua Buy used from: £1.09 I'm so sorry. But it's a fantastic Europop album, so much better than their debut. Back from Mars is a stonking pop beast of a song
	Very Best of Pat Benetar by Pat Benatar Buy new: £9.78 / Used from: £1.28 Opera trained rock bird with Susan Kennedy from Neighbours' old hair. Never popular in UK, save for Love is a Battlefield (incredible dancing whores video). Rocks like a good 'un
	Busted by Busted Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.01 Give three incredibly horny 18 year old boys guitars and an afternoon to write an album and what do you get? Busted. Funny, sunny pop using real instruments. Charlie gradually turning into sex-god too
	Essential by Nik Kershaw Buy new: £3.48 / Used from: £2.13 Catchy 80s stuff, should be throwaway but somehow isn't. The Riddle is still a crowning glory of rubbish
	S & M by Metallica Buy new: £10.48 / Used from: £5.85 Right.... Hetfield ('right, f**kerz, ready to ROCK?') enlists San Francisco orchestra to give some John Barry oomph to existing and new Metallica songs. Absolute genius
	Republica by Republica Buy used from: £0.01 Oh, we loved them so much for 6 weeks in 1997... Cinnamon-haired Saffron thumps around with heavy beats and guitars. Good to drive around to
	Speed Ballads by Republica Buy used from: £0.36 Republica's last shout - literally. Ian Brodie (Lightning Seeds) produces a track. First 5 songs great, rest just get noisy. Saffron last seen in studio with ex-lunatic Siobhan Fahey
	Britney by Britney Spears Buy new: £9.48 / Used from: £0.32 Oh Britters... entertaining as the inevitable failure of the trailer park marriage is, this is so far her best album. Great songs, expensive production, and a Justin co-write. Lovely
	Chicago: Music From the Miramax Motion Picture by Original Soundtrack Buy new: £4.48 / Used from: £0.63 Just the best thing ever. CZJ delivers performance of her life, singing dancing and generally stealing the movie/songs from everyone else. She deserved that Oscar
	A New Day Has Come by Celine Dion Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.92 As Whitney and Mariah fall from grace, Celine pockets a wad of cash and squats in Vegas on board a nightly sinking fibreglass Titanic. Class. She rules
	Dead Letters by The Rasmus Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.39 'Hello? This is Bon Jovi. Can we have our songs back please?' Shameless plaguarism aside, this is mega. Amps up to 11, please
	Affirmation by Savage Garden Buy new: £13.27 / Used from: £1.05 So naff it hurts. But the songwriting is great, production top class and some of the ballads genuinely moving. They no more and Hayes is turning into Tina Arena... boo
	State of Mind [CD + DVD] by Holly Valance Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £0.99 Shameless 'me too' have-a-go Aussie pop strumpet goes back to the 80s. Achieves highly listenable, sustained quality album, possibly by accident. World remains unimpressed
	Neon Nights by Dannii Minogue Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £0.01 The dark-pubed Minogue does her best work. Dirty grooves and great tunes. Better than Body Language (but then week-old chicken is better than Body Language)
	Sings America by David Hasselhoff Buy new: £12.69 / Used from: £3.41 Only kidding. This really is irredeemably naff
	Centre Stage - The Very Best of Elaine Paige by Elaine Paige Buy new: £10.78 / Used from: £7.20 Looks like she should be pulling pints at the Vic. Tiny but deadly. Impressive voice
	Good Times by Adam Rickett Buy used from: £1.03 A case study in how to be shafted by your own surname. One of the world's most beautiful men (particularly with his shirt off) bounces around to some of the gayest disco of recent years
	Don't Ask by Tina Arena Buy new: £3.48 / Used from: £0.24 Fat-lipped Australian actually has a corking voice and knows how to write songs. Avoid In Deep it's full of slop, but the new one's pretty good
	The Essential Heart by Heart Buy new: £10.78 / Used from: £7.74 Portly, hairy rock sisters and even hairier band. Quality stuff, if you can get through the 80s huge-hair power guitars wailing stuff
