Without You I'm Nothing
6.  Without You I'm Nothing by Placebo

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (92 customer reviews)

Tom Mcrae
9.  Tom Mcrae by Tom McRae

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (35 customer reviews)

Antichrist Superstar
16.  Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson

Mechanical Animals
