(REAL NAME)   
 
Timeless
1.  Timeless by Sarah Brightman
The list author says:
  "My favourite artist of all time.  She has a sweet soprano voice which appeals to pop listeners as well as classical singers.  This album has a fair share of original songs, covers and classics."
£3.89   Used & New from: £0.39
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

I Believe My Heart
2.  I Believe My Heart by Keedie
The list author says:
  "Makes me angry when I think of how unknown she is.  Mixes everything a corssover listener could want from an album.  Very talented."
£8.00   Used & New from: £5.64
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Etterna
3.  Etterna by Emma Shapplin
The list author says:
  "I'm going to be strange and prefer this album to her first one.  She has a clear soprano voice and sings her own operatic compositions.  Gothic and haunting."
£14.78   Used & New from: £7.00
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

All Good Things
4.  All Good Things by Sissel

Awake [CD + DVD]
5.  Awake [CD + DVD] by Josh Groban
The list author says:
  "He experiments more with his latest album.  He's like a male Celine Dion, though he is multi-talented.  He writes a lot of his music and plays a numerous amount of instruments."
£21.00   Used & New from: £2.04
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

Opheliac
6.  Opheliac by Emilie Autumn
The list author says:
  "There's not enough space in this box to describe her genius.  Read my review for it!  If you're not bothered, then, erm, well, she's a genius!"
Used & New from: £20.99
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

Best of Vanessa
7.  Best of Vanessa by Vanessa Mae
The list author says:
  "It doesn't have Sabre Dance and other great new songs on it, but it does have 'I'm A Doun'.  Vanessa is a violin player, but adds pop and electro pop beats to the mix."
Used & New from: £8.86

Masters of Chant 4
8.  Masters of Chant 4 by Gregorian
The list author says:
  "Best album by Frank Peterson's Gregorian project.  They are not as hard to get hold of as Amazon makes out.  Just pop over to Amazon.de to get all of their albums with ease."
Used & New from: £24.00

Era 2
9.  Era 2 by Era
The list author says:
  "In a league of their own.  There has been many imitators since, but nothing beats Eric Levi and his bizarre choir."
£8.17   Used & New from: £3.03
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Cantamus
10.  Cantamus by Cantamus Girls Choir
The list author says:
  "A choir that gives their treatment to many pop classics on this album.  Fix You is the highlight of this album, though their other album 'Aurora' of original compositions is well worth checking out."
£7.99   Used & New from: £0.49
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (27 customer reviews)

Music from the Motion Picture 'Pride and Prejudice'
11.  Music from the Motion Picture 'Pride and Prejudice' by Caroline Dale

£5.69   Used & New from: £2.99
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (26 customer reviews)

A Little Princess: Original Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK]
12.  A Little Princess: Original Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK] by Patrick Doyle
The list author says:
  "Doyle's best understated work.  The film is not well known, and the soundtrack is lesser known, but if you enjoyed his Sense and Sensibility and Harry Potter soundtrack, you will definitely love this."
£15.54   Used & New from: £9.99
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Now And Forever
13.  Now And Forever by Andrew Lloyd Webber
The list author says:
  "This basically represents all of his musicals that I love and cherish.  The Phantom of the Opera might well be a favourite, but Whistle Down The Wind isn't that far behind."
Used & New from: £12.74
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Blood Brothers: 1995 London Cast [SOUNDTRACK]
14.  Blood Brothers: 1995 London Cast [SOUNDTRACK] by Willy Russell
The list author says:
  "Some lovely 80's style songs in this musical.  Some very catchy stuff.  Depressing towards the end, but the finale song 'Tell Me It's Not True' is fantastic."
£9.99   Used & New from: £4.54
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (28 customer reviews)

Exodus
15.  Exodus by Utada
The list author says:

£4.99   Used & New from: £3.72
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (27 customer reviews)

Final Fantasy S Generation
16.  Final Fantasy S Generation by Various Artists

Final Fantasy Advent Children
17.  Final Fantasy Advent Children by Himuro Kyosuke
The list author says:
  "Nobuo's best work.  Ever.  It's like, the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, though, revamped with metal, drums and electric guitar.  Heaven. One Winged Angel (Advent version) is the best composition ever."
£22.48   Used & New from: £20.99
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Le Roi Est Mort Vive Le Roi
18.  Le Roi Est Mort Vive Le Roi by Enigma
The list author says:
  "Under-rated Enigma album.  Best of the lot in my opinion as it is consistently good throughout."
£14.19   Used & New from: £0.86
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

The Silent Force
19.  The Silent Force by Within Temptation
The list author says:
  "Where would I be now if I had never heard this album? A lot more narrow minded I think.  This album is a masterpiece.  Soprano as the frontperson, a metal band, with an orchestral backing.  Perfect."
£8.81   Used & New from: £4.57
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (65 customer reviews)

Oceanborn
20.  Oceanborn by Nightwish
The list author says:
  "Nightwish are a bit too strong for me, but the ballads on this album are beautiful.  If you haven't heard 'Sleeping Sun' you haven't lived."
Used & New from: £3.89
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (20 customer reviews)

Everything You Want
21.  Everything You Want by Vertical Horizon

Mad Season
22.  Mad Season by Matchbox Twenty
The list author says:
  "Like Vertical Horizon, but has a better vocalist, better lyrics, and far more mature.  Are fun, but have a serious side.  Best alternative band I've heard."
Used & New from: £0.11

Adagio
23.  Adagio by sweetbox
The list author says:
  "Sweetbox are not well known enough in the UK.  Actually, they are not here at all, apart from a brief time in the charts in 1995.  If pop can be genius, this is it."
£41.75   Used & New from: £18.86
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

The Collection (Standard Edition)
24.  The Collection (Standard Edition) by Alanis Morissette
The list author says:
  "All these expert songs for less than £3?  What are you waiting for?  Includes 'Ironic' and 'Thank U' but has gems I hadn't heard before such as 'Simple Together' and 'Uninvited' which is lush!"
£5.77   Used & New from: £2.14
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Songbird
25.  Songbird by Eva Cassidy
The list author says:
  "I didn't catch on to this until recently.  Not a GREAT album, material wise, but she shows how she can make a bland ordinary song into something extraordinary.  Brilliant interpretator. RIP."
£8.00   Used & New from: £2.22
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (193 customer reviews)
