 | Blue by Joni Mitchell
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.20 Absolutely perfect record. The songs are completely honest and heartfelt. Never bettered by JM although she has many other classics (especially fro 60s & 70s)
|
 | I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You by Aretha Franklin
Buy new: £6.68 / Used from: £2.80 THE greatest soul album ever!!
|
 | Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.20 Side 1 of this album is probably one of the best ever!
|
 | Terror Twilight by Pavement
Buy new: £6.58 / Used from: £4.00 I prefer the later Pavement, I'm afraid, which is why SM solo albums feature in the list as well.
|
 | On The Boards by Taste
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.19 RORY!!!
|
 | In Memory of Robert Johnson by Paul Williams
Buy new: £12.69 / Used from: £6.96 Quite simply the best versions of RJ's songs - knocks spots off Eric Clapton's effort!
|
 | Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Buy used from: £8.92 Which RW album to choose is really difficult. This one because of the time in his life that he made it. Shame the record company didn't retain the original album cover on this reissue, though.
|
 | Since by Richard Buckner
Buy used from: £6.39 I always seem to come back to this album when I can't make up my mind what to listen to but don't want anything too loud or demanding of my attention.
|
 | Pig Lib - Limited Edition by Stephen Malkmus and the Jiggs
Buy new: £12.69 / Used from: £4.32 A toss-up between this one and Face The Truth - what the hell, I'll put both in the list!
|
 | Face the Truth by Stephen Malkmus
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £7.00 Brilliant! I could fill this list up with Malkmus/Pavement/Silver Jews etc.
|
 | If I Could Do It All Over Again I'd Do It All Over You by Caravan
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.45 Wonderful Canterbury early prog/psychadelia
|
 | Last Days of Wonder by The Handsome Family
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £3.39 The latest album seems more "mature", though I still love the earlier albums - especially In The Air
|
 | Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Buy used from: £3.96 Possibly still the best Ryan Adams album
|
 | Overcome by Happiness by The Pernice Brothers
Buy used from: £19.99 Lovely rich-sounding pop songs
|
 | Daisies of the Galaxy by Eels
Buy new: £3.48 / Used from: £1.37 The best Eels album - and the best Eels album cover
|
 | Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £2.30 Which Steely Dan album to choose? This one because it has my all-time favourite album cover
|
 | Marcus Garvey / Garvey's Ghost by Burning Spear
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £8.68 The greatest reggae album ever (?), and two albums on one CD - brilliant value
|
 | Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Buy used from: £19.99 This album or Glum? Probably this is more "commercial" and has end-to-end classic songs
|
 | Focus III by Focus
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £8.83 Real 70's prog rock. Worth it just for FocusIII/AnswersQuestions
|
 | Charlamagne by Charlamagne
Buy new: £7.79 / Used from: £2.70 What is there not to like about this album?
|
 | March 16-20, 1992 by Uncle Tupelo
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £3.74 My first introduction to Jeff Tweedy et al.
|
 | Being There by Wilco
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £3.50 And the classic earlier Wilco album
|
 | Plans by Death Cab For Cutie
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.20 Lovely album.
|
 | I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning by Bright Eyes
Buy new: £7.08 / Used from: £4.99 Superb album
|
 | The Fidelity Wars by Hefner
Buy used from: £2.93 All the Hefner/Darren Hayman albums are worth a listen, Probably my favourite band live
|
Listmania!
