|

|
 | Tonight You Are the Special on by Earl Brutus
Buy used from: £4.94 The recent death of Nick is really sad as I still thought one day this band would reform and somehow take over. Both albums are full of glam stomps with a really sweet side . Best track Universal Plan

|
 | Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.48 Odd to think this cosmic beauty was an NME album of the year (You wouldn't get anything as good as that now) Timeless and touching stuff. Best track The Funny Bird

|
 | Laughing Stock by Talk Talk

|
 | The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Buy new: £6.68 / Used from: £1.71 Odd to think this American cosmic beauty was an NME album of the year (You wouln't get anything as good as that now) Timeless and touching stuff (I'm lazy I know) Best track Race For The Prize
|
 | Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.29 Music is full of big injustices and the fact this didn't sell as much as any of the Oasis albums has to be up there as one of the worst. An epic sprawling masterpiece. Best track Lazarus
|
 | Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Buy new: £12.69 / Used from: £8.24 Their most downbeat record and also their most moving. Being Boring is one of the most heartbreaking songs I can think of. Best track Being Boring
|
 | Different Class by Pulp
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.70 I know Britpop is seen as a bit of a joke now but some of the records stand up so well. I still hope one day we will get another Pulp record. Best track I Spy
|
 | Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Buy new: £8.28 / Used from: £3.89 The album that really should have made them big with songs as poppy as The Noise of carpets and the title track. Even now I can still rely on them for great pop. Best track Cybele's reverie
|
 | Liquid Swords by Genius/GZA
Buy new: £3.48 / Used from: £2.49 The moment where the title track kicks in is such a great moment. The best Wu Tang effort of the ones I've heard (There's a million) Best track Liquid Swords
|

|
 | Dead Bees on a Cake by David Sylvian
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.30 A career high from one of the most erratic careers in pop. Japan were a great band but his solo efforts are only sometimes great (My advice get the albums about bees) Best track Darkest Dreamin

|
 | Dummy by Portishead
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.69 This is quite a gloomy list isn't it? I'm sure everyone has this so I will just point out the new one is even better. Best track Roads
|
 | Beyond the Sun by Billy MacKenzie
My favourite voice in music. This is a heartbreaking record on every level and makes me realise what a sad loss Billy Mackenzie was. Best track Nocturne 7
|
 | At the Club by Kenickie
Buy used from: £4.94 I wish there were more indie bands around now that had such a great combination of humour, glamour and tunes. Come on Lauren a reunioun is the right thing to do. Best track Come Out 2nite
