4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Heartbreaker
2.  Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams

Odelay
3.  Odelay by Beck
The list author says:
  "I didn't really see this as an instant classic, but Beck's record is so interesting that always creeps onto the playlist."
£4.69   Used & New from: £0.98
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)

Ease Down The Road
4.  Ease Down The Road by Bonnie Prince Billy
The list author says:
  "I See a Darkness still awaits its true successor, but the quietly joyous tone of Ease Down the Road is still a must-have, and probably more accessible to boot."
£12.00   Used & New from: £3.94
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Transatlanticism
5.  Transatlanticism by Death Cab for Cutie
The list author says:

Used & New from: £5.97
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (22 customer reviews)

Sumday
6.  Sumday by Grandaddy
The list author says:

£10.00   Used & New from: £1.89
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)

100 Broken Windows
7.  100 Broken Windows by Idlewild
The list author says:
  "Wherein Idlewild attain the perfect equilibrium between pop and rock. This one is always worth going back to."
£8.27   Used & New from: £0.01
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (54 customer reviews)

Up the Bracket [CD + DVD]
8.  Up the Bracket [CD + DVD] by The Libertines

O
9.  O by Damien Rice
The list author says:
  "The ubiquity is starting to grate a little, but Damien Rice's success is founded on solid, excellent songwriting as shown on this masterful album."
£4.97   Used & New from: £0.01
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (201 customer reviews)

()
10.  () by Sigur Rós

£4.99   Used & New from: £3.89
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (76 customer reviews)

Absent Friends
11.  Absent Friends by The Divine Comedy
The list author says:
  "Yeah, honest. The Divine Comedy are cool. Thinking man's pop music. This record isn't the best of the bunch, but a reminder that they still exist, and are still great."
£4.17   Used & New from: £1.49
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (44 customer reviews)

Tom Mcrae
12.  Tom Mcrae by Tom McRae
The list author says:
  "There is no artist who's next album I await with greater anticipation (yeah, I know he has another one out, but that ain't as good as this). Tom McRae is a brilliantly sinister songwriter."
Used & New from: £0.49
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (64 customer reviews)

Joya
13.  Joya by Will Oldham
The list author says:
  "The least accessible record of Oldham's that I'm recommending, but one of his aknowledged classics nonetheless."
£13.00   Used & New from: £3.70
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Spoonface
14.  Spoonface by Ben Christophers
The list author says:
  "A songwriter with a soaring falsetto voice, who can nonetheless create superb sex songs such as Hooded Kiss. It's worn a little thin now, but I've been listening to it for a very long time."
Used & New from: £0.01
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

Amnesiac
15.  Amnesiac by Radiohead
The list author says:

4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (121 customer reviews)

Natural History
16.  Natural History by I Am Kloot
The list author says:
  "Manchunian indie rock-pop that is bafflingly difficult to get hold of nowadays. An album of absolute classics."
£6.67   Used & New from: £3.04
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (22 customer reviews)

SEVEN SWANS
17.  SEVEN SWANS by Sufjan Stevens
The list author says:

£13.45   Used & New from: £5.39
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

CHUTES TOO NARROW
18.  CHUTES TOO NARROW by The Shins

  "I took a gamble on this one, which definitely paid off. More American indie rock magic with a more retro, creative style."
£5.29   Used & New from: £1.95
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (24 customer reviews)

Viva Last Blues
19.  Viva Last Blues by Will Oldham
The list author says:

£13.72   Used & New from: £9.82
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Quiet Is the New Loud
20.  Quiet Is the New Loud by Kings of Convenience
The list author says:
  "Quite why I keep coming back to this one, I'm not sure. Quiet, gently beautiful and perfect sleepy music."
£4.39   Used & New from: £1.68
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (31 customer reviews)

Open Heart Zoo
21.  Open Heart Zoo by Martin Grech
The list author says:
  "We say that Buckley had the voice of an angel, but Grech fulfills this with all of the destruction and power of the real thing. You can practically feel the world cracking in the centre. Unbelievable."
£10.97   Used & New from: £0.01
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (45 customer reviews)

Faded Seaside Glamour [CD+DVD]
22.  Faded Seaside Glamour [CD+DVD] by Delays
The list author says:
  "Delays are just about to hit it big, most likely. It doesn't exactly grow on you, but the lead singer has a voice like few others, and the whole thing has a poppy, retro charm."
£14.03   Used & New from: £0.54
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (26 customer reviews)

Worlds of Possibility - Domino's 10th Anniversary
23.  Worlds of Possibility - Domino's 10th Anniversary by Pastels
The list author says:
  "This was the no. 1 best deal I ever got. £4! An incredible amount of superb stuff on these CDs, which turned me on to a large number of my favourite artists."
Used & New from: £1.19
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Think Tank
24.  Think Tank by Blur
The list author says:
  "Certainly the best Blur album ever. That's not too tough. What's more surprising is that it rivals previously much better bands at their own game. A very good album."
£3.99   Used & New from: £0.46
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (98 customer reviews)

Rock N Roll
25.  Rock N Roll by Ryan Adams
The list author says:
  "Probably his worst album, but put on because it's so great to strut to. Rock N Roll has grown on me quite a bit, and there are some killer tracks, especially considering that Adams put no effort in."
£4.39   Used & New from: £0.73
3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (46 customer reviews)
