My Top 20
The ReasonThe Reason by Hoobastank
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £0.99
This is their second album, and by far their best. I actually bought this for one song and loved every one on it, if you like the rest of my list, you MUST by this.
Blackened SkyBlackened Sky by Biffy Clyro
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.99
I must admit, I was drawn to this lot purely for their name at first, but after picking this up, and subsequently the next two, i was hooked.
Karma and EffectKarma and Effect by Seether
Buy used from: £9.93
This was another one I bought after hearing one song. It really is one of those albums you have to be in the right frame of mind to be able to enjoy, but if you are you will absolutely love it.
Break the CycleBreak the Cycle by Staind
Buy new: £6.78 / Used from: £0.78
I actually just wondered into a store with the intent of buying ANYTHING, and walked out with this. Its easily their best album and has some incredible songs on it.
Billy TalentBilly Talent by Billy Talent
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £3.79
Billy Talent are without doubt, one of the power houses of rock. An incredible band, with an phenomenal debut album.
Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of MadnessGood Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness by Coheed and Cambria
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £1.56
I have absolutely no recollection of buying this, or why, but i cant imagine not owning it, opening beautifully with keeping the blade and getting better and better throughout.
News and TributesNews and Tributes by The Futureheads
Buy new: £5.08 / Used from: £0.70
After their decent first album, I was genuinely suprised when they pulled this one out. A huge step up in only a few years. I think their future albums promise to be incredible.
GorillazGorillaz by Gorillaz
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.07
I must admit, I was never much of a Blur fan, but this deeply erie and entirely spooky album is superbly done and completely without a definative genre. If you do not yet own this, buy it now.
Three Days GraceThree Days Grace by Three Days Grace
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £5.18
Youre getting the trend now, its all rock music and the list wouldnt be complete without TDG. Also, im not good at explaining things, so if you like some of my albums, chances are, youll like the rest
Science: Limited EditionScience: Limited Edition by Incubus
Buy new: £4.78 / Used from: £0.73
Incubus are a band I have a lot to say about, but to save alot of jibber, this is my favourite incubus album. inc are a truely prolific band with the possible exception of 'a crow left of murder'
Eye to the TelescopeEye to the Telescope by KT Tunstall
Buy new: £6.88 / Used from: £0.28
okay, so i dip my feet into the pop pool occasionally, but after listening to the opening track, you'll be hooked
Over the Counter CultureOver the Counter Culture by The Ordinary Boys
Buy new: £5.88 / Used from: £0.10
Honestly, I advise you to buy their other albums first, because this is SO good, you'll be tempted to buy the rest and theyre such a let down. Unfortunately theyre strictly a one hit wonder
Maxwell's Urban Hang SuiteMaxwell's Urban Hang Suite by Maxwell
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.19
One of the few times i step out of my genre, but Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite is such a breath of fresh air. Sumthin' Sumthin' is the perfect track for any time, any place.
The PoisonThe Poison by Bullet for My Valentine
Buy used from: £2.47
Okay, so sue me, I think the album was excellent.
AbsolutionAbsolution by Muse
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.50
As im trying to pick one album by each band, it was a real throw up between this and Origin of Symmetry. Muse are an incredible homegrown band, and went from one incredible album to another with the 2
Three Cheers for Sweet RevengeThree Cheers for Sweet Revenge by My Chemical Romance
Buy new: £7.18 / Used from: £0.99
After their significantly darker first album, TCfSR was a big change, but by no means a bad one. This incredibly crafted album will hold its own for many years.
(What's the Story) Morning Glory?(What's the Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis
Buy used from: £2.33
Honestly, ive heard their other albums and was not impressed, but morning glory seems to hold all of their best songs.
To the PainTo the Pain by NonPoint
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £6.19
Starts out strong and continues throughout. This album will raise you up and keep you there.
Does This Look Infected?Does This Look Infected? by Sum 41
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £2.43
does this look infected is on the fence between sum 41's 'american pie' kind of rock and their more serious 'chuck' rock. Its a well bred fusion between the two.
Spider-ManSpider-Man by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.08
As much as i avoid compelations this is an entirely well crafted ost.
