The Freewheelin' Bob DylanThe Freewheelin' Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan
Buy new: £5.97 / Used from: £2.80
For me this is Bob's best. Witty, angry, intelligent. The sparce production allow the songs to be what they are, WONDERFUL.
Midnite VulturesMidnite Vultures by Beck
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.21
Funk finally came to the 90's with this treat. Strange lyrics (but what else do we expect), however you can find meaning in most of it. A classic from a contemporary artist, and they're hard to find.
AmnesiacAmnesiac by Radiohead
Buy used from: £8.00
The follow up to Kid A, and sometimes the greater of the two. Just be pleased some people in the world of music are willing to create art.
Kid AKid A by Radiohead
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.00
Dark, moody. Try and work out the lyrics, they're really quite cleaver
Bad: RemasteredBad: Remastered by Michael Jackson
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.08
If your about my age, 21, then you should already love this. Despite the often cheesy 80's sound the songs are still good, and when Stevie Wonder pops in for a guest appearence you can't go wrong.
Songs In The Key Of LifeSongs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £5.79
Difficult to choose out of his four classics. This is funky, soulful, and beutiful.
Kind of BlueKind of Blue by Miles Davis
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.88
Miles' best. You can float on the notes Davis, Adderley and Coltrane produce.
Live at the Jazz Workshop: CompleteLive at the Jazz Workshop: Complete by Thelonious Monk

This guy is a jazz GENIUS. Embrace his melodies, and piano playing style, don't let them scare you.
