 | The Greatest by Cat Power
Buy new: £6.48 / Used from: £4.04 An album for which the words "achingly beautiful" were invented. Gets better with every listen.

Buy new: £9.27 / Used from: £1.48 In the words of one reviewer, these are songs of either "crippling despair" or "an almost violent joy". Either way, these ten tracks have stood the test of time and 'Grace' continues to break hearts.

|
 | MTV Unplugged In New York by Nirvana
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.23 While Nevermind is still utterly essential listening, Kurt Cobain's swansong also resonates with a haunting sadness.
