You'll have to prise them from my cold, dead hands
Paul's BoutiquePaul's Boutique by The Beastie Boys
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £2.89
It's practically neck and neck with Ill communication, but the sense of humour just makes it
F# A# (Infinity)F# A# (Infinity) by Godspeed You Black Emperor!
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £6.00
I almost cried when I realised I'd lost the disc after moving house, Anyone in Brighton finds this, it's mine.
We Are the RomansWe Are the Romans by Botch
Buy used from: £10.00
Cited by self proclaimed music 'experts' everywhere. But it really is rather good.
Hide the Kitchen KnivesHide the Kitchen Knives by the pAper chAse
Buy used from: £18.98
I had never heard anything by them when I got this, I simply bought it on a whim. I almost crapped myself with terror. Tingly.
MutterMutter by Rammstein
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.75
Possibly one of the most ridiculous bands ever conceived. That's why I love them.
Crooked Rain, Crooked RainCrooked Rain, Crooked Rain by Pavement
Buy used from: £14.05
Some arguments go on for eternity. One such is, which is the best pavement album. Mine's this one.
Enema Of The StateEnema Of The State by blink-182
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £0.95
How dare I put Blink 182 in a list like this?! Well, because they were actually rather good once upon a time. Dude Ranch is actually better, but I have an emotional attachment to this one.
The Moon & AntarcticaThe Moon & Antarctica by Modest Mouse
Buy used from: £15.49
I nearly had a stroke trying to decide which MM album to put here.
AustralasiaAustralasia by Pelican

Listening to this conjures up unbidden images of impossible landscapes. wanky but true.
More Songs About Buildings and FoodMore Songs About Buildings and Food by Talking Heads
Buy new: £5.48 / Used from: £4.50
Hard decision between this and 77. This was the first TH album I bought, so that probably swung it in my unconscious.
The Lonesome Crowded WestThe Lonesome Crowded West by Modest Mouse
Buy used from: £12.46
I'm sorry, I had to put another one. I could've done myself some serious damage.
The Repercussions of a Badly Planned SuicideThe Repercussions of a Badly Planned Suicide by Johnny Truant
Buy new: £8.79 / Used from: £1.50
A sentimental rather than musical choice. Though I once fell asleep and woke up during the intro to Infamy. In the post sleep muzziness I thought I'd slipped in to a hellish parallel universe. Really.
Burn Piano Island, BurnBurn Piano Island, Burn by The Blood Brothers
Buy used from: £4.54
Oh blood brothers, how do I miss thee, let me count the ways. (Even if you did get a bit tame towards the end)
FuneralFuneral by Arcade Fire
Buy new: £7.48 / Used from: £5.23
I hated Arcade Fire at first. They were pretentious. Then I wanted to hate them. Then I gave in and loved them. Embrace the Love.
Alkaline TrioAlkaline Trio by Alkaline Trio
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £3.99
Yes, it feels weird putting their collection of bits, rather than a thought out, smoothly flowing album. But, I like it best, so there we go.
Fishing for LuckiesFishing for Luckies by The Wildhearts
Buy used from: £14.98
I was surprised I chose this one too, maybe it's the influence of that magical disappearing fish
ParklifeParklife by Blur

Modern life is rubbish would be here if I was writing this on a Sunday night. But it's not ,so I'll go with the cheery one.

This reminds me of being a teenager. Despite this I still love it, now that goes to show how great this must be.

Nice.

In their own words, it's AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! On another note which made me laugh, you can now type A in amazon search and it actually finds them. Crazy.
