Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

5/5

The album that made me appreciate the Manics. From the first note to the last, this album is by far the best thing they have released. Saw them live at the end of this tour, genuine life experience.

Big fan at the time - still love it now.

Debut

Björk

One of the most incredible albums of its time. Sounds like nothing else out there. Bjork is just incredible at whatever she does.

Pet Sounds

Sometimes I don’t get the hype, then listen again. Perfect pop tunes.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

5/5

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

5/5

An excellent follow up to Please where the boys showed more depth to their sound and more maturity in their songwriting. It’s a sin is, and forever will be, an absolute banger.

Moon Safari

Air

5/5

An absolute triumph of French techno. One of those albums that transports me back in time to happy memories.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

4/5

The start of my love for Floyd.

Different Class

Pulp

5/5

Amazing.

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

5/5

Wow. Eldridch at his absolute peak. From the opening thunder of Dominion to the closing notes of Neverland, this is a classic.

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

3/5

Not a bad debut as long as you credit the inspirational bands that came before. Peak of Noel’s songwriting powers.

Green

R.E.M.

5/5

My introduction to Athens’ finest rockers.

Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby

Terence Trent D'Arby

4/5

Sign Your Name will forever be the school disco smooch song of that period. Far, far more to this album though.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

5/5

Probably the best debut album ever. My favourite live band of all time, musical genius tied up with exquisite song writing. Do not miss

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

5/5

A tremendous return to form for The Prodigy. From the opening strains of Smack My Bitch Up to the mystic rhythms of Narayan this is a pulsating journey into the minds of a group at the absolute peak of their power.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

5/5

I’m in the phone booth, it’s the one across the hall Find a finer opening lyric on any album.

Survivor

Destiny's Child

4/5

Without this album, there would be no Beyoncé. This was the springboard to that success with some absolutely perfect tunes. Destiny Child took the baton of RnB/Pop from TLC and smashed it out of the park.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

5/5

Beg beat perfection

Achtung Baby

5/5

The true coming of age album for U2. Everything that came before led to this masterpiece. From the jarring start of Zoo Station through the chorus wails of Love is Blindness, there simply isn’t a bad track on this album. Just needs the Perfecto mix of Even Better Than The Real Thing to elevate it further. Nothing they’ve done since reaches this quality.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

5/5

Perfection!
