 | The Vertigo of Bliss by Biffy Clyro
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.49 Best album ever.
|
 | Hope Is Important by Idlewild
Buy new: £4.54 / Used from: £1.20 Even after nearly 10 years, this album still feels as raw and occasionally violent as it did when I first heard it - Awesome.
|
 | The Best of De La Soul by De La Soul
Buy new: £12.48 / Used from: £1.98 I dont generally like Best Ofs, but it's hard to say which of their albums is the best. So I'll say this.
|
 | Mouse and the Mask by Dangerdoom
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £4.49 Better than anything DM did as Gnarls Barkley, and it's got Aqua Teen Hunger Force on it as well.
|
 | The Black & White Album by The Hives
Buy new: £4.92 / Used from: £6.00 The first half is way better than the second half, but it's all good and they're a fantastic live band and genuine nutters too.
|
 | Quality Control by Jurassic 5
Buy new: £3.97 / Used from: £2.38 So many reasons to love this - infectious music, clever lyrics and most of all their excellent sense of humour (I cant hear the "kick, kick, snare" samples on Monkey Bars without smiling like a loon).
|
 | Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.79 They never made another album as great as this.
|
 | You're a Woman I'm a Machine by Death From Above 1979
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £7.62 For a 2-piece band, the energy that storms out of this CD is amazing - mostly fast, fierce songs with great lyrics.
|
 | Old World Underground Where Are You Now by Metric
Buy used from: £8.86 Criminally underrated band, and for me this first album is the best thing they've done.
|
 | For Screening Purposes Only by Test Icicles
Buy new: £1.66 / Used from: £2.50 Like DFA1979, they split up too soon and only made one album of fantastic angry, schizophrenic lunacy...
|
 | The Audience's Listening by Cut Chemist
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £6.17 Not as clever as the Jurassic 5 albums, but holds onto Cut Chemist's sense of humour in a more dance-y setting - What's the Altitude is the best track...
|
 | Unthugged 2 by Dan Greenpeace & DJ Yoda
Buy used from: £24.99 Yoda and Greenpeace are always great, and I think this is even better than the How To Cut and Paste series.
|
 | Any Minute Now by Soulwax
Buy new: £7.21 / Used from: £4.20 Never really settles on one genre, and stays good all the way through as a result.
|
 | Rated R by Queens Of The Stone Age
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.70 Their best CD for me - Nick Olivieri's contributions are great and it has their two best singles - Lost Art... and Feel Good Hit...
|
 | Icky Thump by White Stripes
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £4.49 Considering this is their sixth album, it's surprisingly good. Certainly better than The Raconteurs.
|
![DJ Shadow - In Tune And On Time [CD + DVD]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51D8RS1GVFL._SL75_.jpg) | DJ Shadow - In Tune And On Time [CD + DVD] by DJ Shadow
Buy new: £16.20 / Used from: £9.99 Like De La Soul, its so hard to say which album is best that I'll settle for this brilliant Best Of performed live at Brixton a few years ago - This version of Blood on the Motorway is superb.
|
 | Mm... Food: +DVD by MF Doom
Buy new: £10.73 / Used from: £7.27 "Super"...
|
 | Cansei De Ser Sexy by CSS
Buy new: £5.20 / Used from: £5.45 I feel like I shouldnt like this, but I do. A lot. It just feels almost naively fun and quite varied - Lets Make Love is a great single.
|
 | System of a Down by System Of A Down
Buy new: £4.00 / Used from: £1.99 Completely insane, and balanced finely between obscure humour and rage-fuelled political ranting. More importantly it makes you want to jump up and down shouting like an idiot.
|
 | Hearts And Unicorns by Giant Drag
Buy new: £8.40 / Used from: £4.56 Took a few listens to get into this, but I'm glad I put the effort in - Kevin is Gay has a verse of meows. That alone should make you buy it. That, and YFLMD...
|
 | Peace Love Death Metal by Eagles Of Death Metal
Buy new: £11.48 / Used from: £8.49 Whorehoppin' and Speaking in Tongues are great.
|
 | Gold by Chuck Berry
Buy new: £6.67 / Used from: £6.39 Yeah, some of his songs are samey samey, but without Johnny B. Goode and My Ding A Ling, the world would be a dark place.
|
 | The Definitive Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Buy new: £6.48 / Used from: £10.74 Not sure what to say. I love Ray Charles.
|
 | FABRICLIVE27: DJ Format by DJ Format
Buy new: £8.69 / Used from: £8.41 His normal albums are great, but I always prefer this CD. I highly recommend seeing him live.
|
 | Hail to the Thief by Radiohead
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.46 My favourite of their albums - nicely balanced between the depressing electronica of the two previous albums and a mild return to their guitar-y roots.
