 | Ballad of the Broken Seas by Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan
Buy new: £4.01 / Used from: £3.90 Source of endless debate, the Lanegan fans think there's too much Isobel, the Isobel fans think there's too much Lanegan. As a fan of both, I was proper chuffed :)
|
 | Permanent Waves by Rush
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £2.49 It's kinda funny how music just goes back on itself. I was a Coheed and Cambria fan a while back, I thought they were so original, but then I heard Rush and it ruined them for me! Great CD though.
|
 | Vienna by Ultravox
Buy new: £4.47 / Used from: £3.50 Despite singer Midge Ure being bosom buddies with Bob Geldof and Bono and turning his deluded hand to writing the Band Aid song, this album is fantastic. Mind-blowing even.
|
 | The Three EPs by The Beta Band
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.74 Really amazing CD. Probably my favourite album ever.
|
 | (pronounced 'leh-'nérd 'skin-'nérd) by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Buy new: £3.97 / Used from: £3.89 Loved it. Great music, great lyrics. Check it out, whether you like them or not. There is so much more to them than "Sweet Home Alabama", there really is.
|
 | Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Buy used from: £9.49 Best Divine Comedy album. Great songs, great, great, great. Takes a couple of spins to actually "get" it, but it's worth it, oh how it is!
|
 | The Definitive Everly Brothers (2CD) by Everly Brothers
Buy new: £6.97 / Used from: £5.95 The Everly Brothers are really great.
|
 | Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £2.38 Everyone rants and raves about this album, and even then, it's still under-rated.
|
 | Dusty In Memphis (Expanded Version) by Dusty Springfield
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £2.48 After Beta Band, this is my favourite album. Crikey it's good! Dusty's voice is haunting, the melodies are so sweet. Brilliance.
|
 | Edward the Great: Greatest Hits by Iron Maiden
Buy new: £16.94 / Used from: £1.30 I love Maiden. Couldn't possibly choose a favourite album, so just put best of. Reccomended: Killers, Piece of Mind, Somewhere in Time, Seventh Son, Dance of the Dead. Maiden are ace.
|
 | Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £2.52 This is just: "Growing up in the 1990s: The Musical". Brilliant stuff, really memorable.
|
 | Dust by Screaming Trees
Buy new: £4.47 / Used from: £2.10 A brilliant, under-appreciated grunge masterpiece, Mark Lanegan's first band
|
 | Superunknown by Soundgarden
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.00 A brilliant, over-appreciated grunge masterpiece, Chris Cornell's first band (before he went crap)
|
 | Safe As Milk: Remastered by Captain Beefheart
Buy new: £3.32 / Used from: £5.82 Great album. Generally, and understandably, considered one of the best rock albums ever released. FACT: it was John Lennon's favourite album. 'Nuff said.
|
 | The Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse by Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.32 Monty Python fans will dig this mostly for the humour, but even if they weren't so comical, the music itself is very, very good indeed.
|
 | Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven by Godspeed You Black Emperor
Buy used from: £6.58 Great Prog album. Only if you like prog of course, if you don't have the patience for progressive bands, steer clear. It's play-time is like 3 hours and there's only 4 songs!
|
 | Crackle - The Best of Bauhaus by Bauhaus
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.78 THE best post-punk band. So, so good
|
 | Floodland: Remastered and Expanded by Sisters Of Mercy
Buy used from: £5.27 THE second best post-punk band. So, so good.
|
 | Psyence Fiction by UNKLE
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.34 Jaw-dropping trip-hop. Very talented
|
 | Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? by Of Montreal
Buy new: £10.03 / Used from: £7.00 Probably the weirdest band around, but probably also the most worth-while.
|
 | Raw Power by Iggy Pop & The Stooges
Buy used from: £4.44 Nothing deep or philosophical here. It won't change your life. But it probably is the best rock album ever recorded. Sexy! Funhouse is also a great album, I like both about the same.
|
 | Virtuoso by Joe Pass
Buy new: £16.49 / Used from: £7.05 Great jazz music. Joe Pass had extraordinary talent.
|
 | Water and Solutions by Far
Buy new: £4.28 / Used from: £6.28 They never got the press they deserved.
|
 | Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dylan
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.48 First Bob Dylan I got, love it and always will.
|
 | Swansong For You by Gentle Waves
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.30 Really in love with this album. I think it's perfect pop music. Sorta Baroque pop type thing going on, if ya follow me. Very cool.
