1. Freak Guitar: The Road Less Traveled by Mattias Eklundh

The list author says:

2. Shaun Of The Dead by Various Artists

The list author says:
	"Some top music from a top film. It's worth getting this, if only for the final 'hidden track'. A hilarious comedy cut-up of Keith Cheguin chirpily commentating on 'it's a knockout' with zombies."

3. Wired by Jeff Beck

The list author says:
	"This album features some of the greatest funky-melodic riffing ever. It's not just about Jeff and his guitar though, the other musicians shine through, thanks to the superbly re-mastered version."

4. The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place by Explosions in the Sky

The list author says:
	"Huge sounding and mind-numbingly beautiful collection of instrumentals. Both melancholic and uplifting at the same time. If you are a fan of post rock, you'll love this to bits. I certainly do"

5. The Braindance Coincidence by Various Artists

The list author says:
	"This 'sampler' is a great way to get into IDM and all that electronic stuff, because it's cheap, there's plenty of variety and it's not so 'avant garde' that it disappears up it's own arse."

6. Reasons to Be Cheerful - Best by Ian Dury & The Blockheads

The list author says:
	"This is certainly a reason to be cheerful. All the best bits from the highly underrated no-nonsense, non-pretentious lyricist and his talented band. The original 'Music Hall Funk' band and the best."

7. Friends on the Road by Bhundu Boys

8. PROBOT by Probot

The list author says:
	"Collaboration albums usually fall flat on their face, as they nearly always end up becoming a fragmented mess. Not so with this beast. It's just a platter of uncomplicated slices of quality metal."

9. Personae by Jonas Hellborg

The list author says:

10. Trouble Over Bridgwater by Half Man Half Biscuit

The list author says:
	"Quite brilliantly observed and written comedy songs with first class dossing around, Very British. Very Quality. Very Potato. Any HMHB album could be here."

11. Supersilent Vol.6 by Supersilent

The list author says:
	"Not quite silent, but certainly super minimalist. More 'sculptured sound' than 'proper' music. CD digipack contains the greatest 'non artwork' in the world."

12. Empty The Bones Of You by Chris Clark

The list author says:
	"A clicky and blippy plate of fish and chippy. Basically, your standard IDM affair from warp records. Quite good though."

13. The Lost Riots by Hope of the States

The list author says:
	"The vocals are quite terrible at times, but luckily this doesn't spoil what is on the whole a jolly decent 'post rock' album with words. Like a wagon wheel amongst the coal."

14. Everyone's in Love and Flowers Pick Themselves by The Murder Of Rosa Luxemburg

The list author says:
	"A genuinely 'eclectic' mix of recorded moments. Trash punk-pop on minute, Post-metal emo jazz spakky pies the next. Where junk-melody meets time-jarring tempo wafers."

15. Kicking A Dead Pig by Mogwai

The list author says:
	"It's mogwai Jim, but not as we know it. Here you'll find an above average collection of remixes. Some barley recognisable as mogwai songs, but still interesting enough to spend money on."

16. Remission by Mastodon

The list author says:
	"Buttress is a significant word isn't it Alan? Yes. Spiked meatballs slam down your hairy metal throat. Metal, Metal, low grizzly hot gravel riff pile-up. Mastodon."

17. Beat the B by The Exploited

The list author says:
	"Hard of the core variety. A high velocity rant. Fast, heavy and uncompromising."

18. FABRICLIVE07: John Peel by Various Artists

The list author says:
	"I was truly saddened to hear that John had left us. Single handedly led the charge against the sorry shambles that is the chart based music industry."

20. Black Sunday by Cypress Hill

The list author says:
	"A huge wooly mammoth membrane of the hip-hop archive. The screechy-scratchy-rippedy-rappety-rumbling-pump-slammer. A moodily meandering and superbly produced fresh injection of toadstools."

21. Dance of Death by Iron Maiden

The list author says:
	"After a dip in form during the mid-late nineties, Maiden carry on where Brave New World left off - showing everyone they can still produce fresh quality heavy metal after 25 years. Unbeatable live."

22. Sheath by LFO (Pop)

The list author says:

23. Civilization Phaze III by Frank Zappa

The list author says:
	"One thing this 'album' is not is conventional. Described by some as a genius masterpiece, others as a pointless and pretentious mess. I'd say it sits somewhere between the two. 2 Discs of art music."

24. Soundtrack to the Apocalypse [DELUXE BOX SET] + NTSC DVD by Slayer

The list author says:
	"If you don't own any Slayer albums and are even slightly interested in the heavier side of music - rest assured, this is almighty riffage and pummelling rhythmics in a box."
