 | The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers

 | Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition by Pavement
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £6.26 Vast, erratic and unlike anything you may have heard before. Witness Pavement at their most fucked up, and best.

Buy new: £4.68 / Used from: £3.45 A classic gig by a classic artist. RIP Johnny
|
 | I Killed the Zeitgeist by Nicky Wire
Buy used from: £2.88 This is not for the Ben Sherman brigade. An album of eloquent lofi pop from Wales' most unloved son.
|
 | Tanglewood Numbers by Silver Jews
Buy new: £10.58 / Used from: £6.44 Pavement+Country tinge=Silver Jews. The most recent in their catalogue. It's perfect.

 | Ballad of the Broken Seas by Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.03 If you hated the new Belle & Sebastian album buy this instead! Tenderness a la Mark Lanegan. Strange mix.
|
 | This Is Hardcore by Pulp
Buy new: £6.18 / Used from: £0.97 Pulp's pinnacle. Gritty, uncompromising and under valued. Worth £5 for 'A Little Soul' alone.
|
 | Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.70 This is responsible for my awakening as a teenage metal head. When the riff from Teenage Riot hits you there is no going back.
|
 | Trouser Jazz by Mr. Scruff
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.17 Erratic breakbeats for any occaision. The final track is Scruff at his best
|
 | The Decline of British Sea Power by British Sea Power
Buy new: £5.88 / Used from: £0.94 Scenic, erratic and maginificent. Sea Power's finest offering and the more frenzied. From acid freakout to a broken lament. Complete.
|
 | The Smiths by The Smiths
This IS the best Smiths record. Still Ill, Reel Around the Fountain, Suffer little children...Morrissey makes his mark.
|
 | In Utero by Nirvana
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.94 Extreme at first the infectious nature of this album grows on you. It's not Nevermind, sure. It's so much better.
|

|
 | You Are Free by Cat Power

|
 | Elliott Smith by Elliott Smith
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.97 Elliott's finest, by the time 'Biggest Lie has finished' you won't have had time to register the emotional impact of this record. Who needs 'Grace'?
|
 | Fall Heads Roll by The Fall
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £7.46 Perhaps the most accessible the Fall have ever been, whatever you say this is certainly a classic.
|
 | The Boy with the Arab Strap by Belle & Sebastian
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £2.94 Perhaps the more understated Belle and Seb record this is certainly the one that got 'em noticed. It's beautiful. Is it wicked not to care? YES.
|
 | Surfer Rosa & Come on Pilgrim by Pixies
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.49 Raw, uncompromised and stunning. This record embodies the Pixies at their best, not as immediate as 'Doolittle' it certainly has no less effect.
|
 | City & Eastern Songs by Jeffrey & Jack Lewis
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £4.25 Anti Folk genius Jeffrey Lewis is essential. The latest effort embodies the charm of lo fidelity recording proving that nothing has to suffer for it.
