 | Return to Cookie Mountain by TV on the Radio
Buy new: £7.48 / Used from: £5.45 One of the most consistant albums I own. Bowie's appearance on backing vocals is enough endoresment for anyone. A must for any discerning rock fan.
|
 | Five Easy Pieces by Scott Walker
Buy used from: £39.00 I chose the box set because it contains a ton of the legendary Scott's back catalogue, some rare gems included. However, Scott 1 to 4 all hold a place at the top of my fave list, they're all sublime.
|
 | Harvest by Neil Young
Buy new: £6.58 / Used from: £2.92 Ask anyone and they'll tell you the same thing - just buy it.
|
 | Other Directions by Nicola Conte
Buy used from: £5.00 High quality jazz from a geniune talent, Classy. Even better than St Germains' Blue Note excursion - The Tourist
|
 | Song Of Innocence by David Axelrod
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £4.50 Melo dramatic masterpiece, that belongs in any classic list.
|
 | Songs Of Experience by David Axelrod
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £4.49 The twin of Song of Innocence and given that they're only about 35 mins long worth listening to together.
|
 | Outside by David Bowie
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.50 I suppose the inclusion of any Bowie album is going to be up for debate, but this is my fave and one of his most interesting. One of the best concept albums I can think of.
|
 | Andorra by Caribou
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.89 Is this what they call alt-rock? Whatever. This guy is a real gem and his early works are a safe bet too, which says alot.
|
 | Welcome by Santana
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.49 I first heard this record when I was about 12 and have loved it ever since. Caravanserai and Barbolleto are among my other fave Santanas.
|
 | Strange Days by The Doors
Buy new: £8.79 / Used from: £2.49 Again, its difficult to choose just one fave album by The Doors and a 'best of' album would be just - wrong. Best album cover though for sure.
|
 | Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.99 This is another artist I've loved since childhood. You can't say fairer than that. A lesson in song writing.
|
 | The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Buy used from: £2.00 I'm sorry but I think I'll always like this one. Created a genre single handedly, even if it did then spawn Oasis. Just ignore them, this is a classic, honest.
|
 | Legacy of Brutality by Misfits
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £5.50 Yes, I hate Punk too but this aint punk. More Gothic and Blues influence than you might expect. American Nightmare remains my fave tune of all time - Danzig goes Elvis - quality.
|
 | Mercy Street by A Reminiscent Drive
Buy used from: £9.37 Un unknown gem this. Pure drama from start to finish. If you dig David Axelrod you will appreciate this record too. Forever.
|
 | Ravvivando by Faust
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £9.23 A Krautrock standard and proof that real genius never dies. A good introduction to the legendary Faust

Listmania!
