 | In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel
Buy new: £7.58 / Used from: £5.94 Something of a cult album. Part of the Elephant 6 movement. If you only ever buy one album, let it be this.
|
 | Tell All Your Friends by Taking Back Sunday
Buy used from: £4.38 Personally i think 'emo' started here. Even if it didnt this is the best album of the genre. Essential.
|
 | The Libertines by The Libertines
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £3.50 Fights, Pete being thrown out, cancelled shows. All of this detracted from the fact that this is the best album to come out of the UK since London Calling
|
 | For Monkeys by Millencolin
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £1.98 Albums are best when they remind you of a certain time in your life. This does just that for me aswell as being Millencolins finest hour.
|
 | Up All Night by The Waifs
Buy new: £15.19 / Used from: £3.49 Perfect chill-out music. A little known Australian band who got a big thumbs up from Bob Dylan. Says it all really.
|
 | Holding a Wolf by the Ears by From Autumn to Ashes
Buy new: £4.96 / Used from: £3.24 Sadly now no longer together. They saved their best for last. Always listen to this before playing the drums. 'on the offensive' is pure brilliance.
|
 | Racecar Is Racecar Backwards by Reuben
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.13 Again, sadly now deceased as a band. This was their first offering and remained their strongest. Jamie Lenman is a great songwriter.
|
 | Relationship Of Command by At the Drive In
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.44 In my opion this is far better than any Mars Volta offerings. An absolute classic in every sense.
|
 | Blackened Sky by Biffy Clyro
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.98 Mon the Biffy. Possibly one of the greatest debuts of all time. 'justboy' is a stand out track
|
 | The Cat Empire by The Cat Empire
Buy new: £16.59 / Used from: £27.86 Another Australian band. Rarely travel to England but worth checking out. They have cult status in Oz, even opening the Commenwealth Games a few years back.
|
 | Jane Doe by Converge
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £5.00 Essentially this is an attack on the ears. In a genre all their own really. Converge and lead singer Jacob Bannon in particular, display everything that music should be about.
|
 | Sing Sing Death House by The Distillers
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £2.97 Another casualty here, they did make another album after this before calling it a day. This is by far their best. Under 30mins long but neverless will leave an impression after one listen.
|
 | From Mars to Sirius by Gojira
Buy used from: £8.36 Little known French metal band. In my top 3 live acts of all time. Marco Duplantier will blow your mind on the drums.
|
 | Razorblade Romance by H.I.M. (His Infernal Majesty)
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.59 Released before Bam Margera got his grubby little hands on them. Rarely will you find an album without a 'skipper' track. Well here it is.
|
 | Antics by Interpol
Buy new: £6.18 / Used from: £2.74 Perfect to stick on after a shocking day at work. Maybe the coolest band still playing today????
|
 | Youth & Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Buy new: £4.78 / Used from: £1.88 Emerging on the scene looking like Cousin IT on a bad day. Kings of Leon gave people something to talk about (other than their hair), and produced a true genius debut.
|
 | A Place in the Sun by Lit
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.01 Summertime - BBQ - Beers - Lit........... in that order
|
 | Bubblegum by Mark Lanegan Band
Buy new: £8.58 / Used from: £4.99 Whether it be Queens of the stone age, Screaming Trees, The Gutter Twins or his work with Isobel Campbell, Mark Lanegan turns things into gold. His solo stuff is brilliant.60 a day to sound that rough
|
 | The Presidents of the United States of America by The Presidents of the United States of America
Buy used from: £0.59 The Presidents didnt just do 'peaches'. A quirky, warped outlook on life put together with some funky beats and results are clear for all to see.
|
 | Favorite Noise by Reel Big Fish
Buy used from: £4.33 Ska-punk at its best. Displays all the right characteristics. Fun songs executed superbly. 2nd best live act ever.
|
 | United by Fate by Rival Schools
Buy used from: £4.89 On a par with Neutral Milk Hotel. This album will blow you away. They have also just reformed. 'good things are coming our way.
|
 | Static World View by Spring Heeled Jack U.S.A.
Buy new: £12.69 / Used from: £4.89 Sadly i found out about this band too late to get to see them live. Howver, if they are half as good as they are on the Cd i would not have been disappointed.
|
 | Pinkerton by Weezer
Buy new: £3.48 / Used from: £2.69 Slated when it first came out. Only taken seriouslt by the die hard fans, this album could have broken Weezer. Nowadays this is loved by the critics who were previously so harsh.
|
 | When Your Heart Stops Beating by +44
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £1.93 +44 the dialling code for the UK. However, they are American. Post Blink 182 Travis & Mark pull off an album 100 times better than anything Angels & Airwaves have come up with.
|
 | Lock-Sport-Krock by Nikola Sarcevic
Buy used from: £1.93 Debut album from Millencolin frontman. Has not left the Cd player for months now.
