 | Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £2.25 TFC are equally comfortable with fast rock'n'roll ('Star Sign'), heavy guitar driven rock ('Satan'), pop anthems ('The Concept') to the slower ballads (December).Everyone should own this album.
|
 | Behind the Music by Soundtrack Of Our Lives
Buy new: £4.57 / Used from: £1.35 Best album of the millenium so far. Stand out tracks are 'Still Aging' and 'The Flood'. Loving the fat bearded swede.
|
 | Through The Window Pane by Guillemots
Buy new: £5.97 / Used from: £3.48 Not a bad song on here - rightly nominated for a mercury prize, but robbed by the Arctic Monkeys. An album that fuses sounds from all corners of the globe. A real gem.
|
 | O.K Computer by Radiohead
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.95 What can I say that hasn't already been said. Set a new standard.
|
 | Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Buy new: £3.10 / Used from: £2.99 An absolute classic. Its got everything: pianos, guitars, samples, gospel singers and even whistles.
|
 | Giant Steps by Boo Radleys
Buy new: £4.58 / Used from: £5.47 Way ahead of their time, a majestic epic album which still sounds as fresh as it did back then
|
 | Whatever and Ever Amen by Ben Folds Five
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £1.63 Bought it when it was released after hearing 'Brick', but didn't like it at the time. It wasn't until several years later that I gave it another listen and loved it. Not a bad song on here.
|
 | Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain by Pavement
By far their finest work, Pavement created an original sound that has influenced many of today's bands.
|
 | (What's the Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.38 Noel Gallagher once said that anyone who prefered this album to Definately Maybe was a "tw@t". Well no other album reminds me of being 16 and discovering alcohol as well as this one so sorry Noel!
|
 | Second Coming by Stone Roses
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £0.99 Was too young when the first album was released so ended up hearing this first and loved it. Cannot understand why it wasn't as well received; a classic in my opinion.
|
 | O by Damien Rice
Buy new: £4.42 / Used from: £0.89 Accomplished,effortless songwriting, equisitely performed.
|
 | A Grand Don't Come for Free by Streets

|
 | Where You Been: Remastered & Expanded by Dinosaur Jr.
Buy new: £4.48 / Used from: £4.15 'Get Me' contains the only guitar solo that has ever bought a tear to my eye.
|
 | Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins
Buy new: £8.86 / Used from: £4.70 Not many artists have succesfully pulled off a double LP but this album is packed with every emotion you can think of and also shows the bands versitilty.
|
 | Good Feeling by Travis
Buy new: £1.88 / Used from: £0.01 Often overlooked but 10 times better than 'The Man Who'. Like Stereophonics it shows what they could have become if they hadn't sold out.
|
 | Exile on Coldharbour Lane by Alabama 3
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £5.40 They should all be locked up. Very odd. From the best American Country and Western Dance band to come out of Brixton.
|
 | Pinkerton by Weezer
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.96 A then low-key album that has gained cult success since.
|
 | Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.80 Just pipped Daft Punk and Faithless as my favourite dance album. Sounds fab in the car.
|
 | () by Sigur Ros
Buy new: £5.57 / Used from: £4.25 No album title, no song titles, no idea what he's singing about, but a sublime peice of music from a unique artist.
|
 | Word Gets Around by Stereophonics
Buy new: £4.90 / Used from: £3.65 The debut album that showed so much promise - still sounds great - nothing they've done since has even come close.
|
 | We Are Puppets by Tiger
Buy used from: £0.48 Basic but effective. They wrote this brilliant album, they were fantastic live, they were destined to be huge, and then they split up.
|
 | Nevermind by Nirvana
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.49 From a time when I actually was Kevin from The Harry Enfield Show; headbanging to Territorial Pissings in my bedroom! A defining album.
|
 | To the Faithful Departed by The Cranberries
Buy new: £11.99 / Used from: £0.01 An atmostpheric sound with stunning vocals and lyrics that are honest and thought provoking.
|
 | Bring It on by Gomez
Buy new: £3.96 / Used from: £0.93 Worthy of their Mercury Music Prize, awarded at a time when it actually meant something and wasn't just given to the coolest new band.
|
 | Is This It by Strokes
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.87 Great unique sound, full of anthems.
