A Listmania! list by "gogolsmadman"
 
Strictly Commercial
1.  Strictly Commercial by Frank Zappa
The list author says:
  "A great introduction to a fantastically original and innovative artist. 'Bobby Brown goes down' is legendary."
£20.48

Love Is Here
2.  Love Is Here by Starsailor
The list author says:
  "Heart-wrenchingly beautiful stuff. If you're not moved by this the first time you listen to it, you have a heart of stone."
£4.25   Used & New from: £0.01
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (49 customer reviews)

Origin of Symmetry
3.  Origin of Symmetry by Muse
The list author says:
  "OK, so quite a few people have this: but it's a great great album. Tell your friends who don't have it. And go and see them live, they're wonderful."
£8.95   Used & New from: £0.32
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (235 customer reviews)

Come Down
4.  Come Down by Dandy Warhols
The list author says:
  "Not as acclaimed as 'Tales from Urban Bohemia', but in my opinion a superior album. Has a lovely feel to it, and 'Not if you were the last junkie on earth' is an unknown classic."
£6.37   Used & New from: £0.48
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (22 customer reviews)

Machine Says Yes
5.  Machine Says Yes by FC Kahuna
The list author says:
  "An interesting album: 'Hayling' is (quite rightly) getting the most airplay, but they're all good songs. Leaves a nice feeling on listening right through."
Used & New from: £1.99
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Spiritual Machines
6.  Spiritual Machines by Our Lady Peace
The list author says:
  "The best band you've never heard of. A better Canadian export than Celine Dion (not hard really), Our Lady Peace are a thought-provoking rock/indie outfit."
Used & New from: £4.34
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

Post Orgasmic Chill
7.  Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
The list author says:
  "Another case of a album being passed over in favour of one by the same band despite being a better listen. This album is superior to any other Anansie album I've heard. No one tune stands out though."
£8.27   Used & New from: £0.06
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

The Music
8.  The Music by The Music
The list author says:
  "Flawed but brilliant. Depressing but uplifting. Probably the most paradoxical album I've ever heard - I love it. Get it, you won't regret it."
£6.71   Used & New from: £0.01
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (36 customer reviews)

Live on Brighton Beach
9.  Live on Brighton Beach by Fatboy Slim
The list author says:
  "This got a bit of a slating on release from the dance press, which is a shame - for someone like me who isn't really clued-up about mixing etc. it's a great listen, and great fun."
Used & New from: £0.24
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (14 customer reviews)

Sultans of Swing: the Very Best of Dire Straits
10.  Sultans of Swing: the Very Best of Dire Straits by Dire Straits
The list author says:
  "Fantastic. Dire Straits will go down as one of the most influential bands of the 70s/80s, and this is a perfect showcase of how great they really were."
£12.17   Used & New from: £1.49
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (32 customer reviews)

Greatest Hits
11.  Greatest Hits by Slade
The list author says:
  "Another massively influential band of the 70s/80s was Slade - as witness Oasis's note-for-note cover of 'Cum on Feel the Noize' in the mid-90s. Indeed, Oasis is the best comparison in modern bands."
£6.25   Used & New from: £3.04
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (25 customer reviews)

The Contino Sessions
12.  The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
The list author says:
  "A curious album, moving from soaring guitar tunes to grungy/dance cross-over tracks. A good album, if perhaps better after a few listens."
Used & New from: £0.60
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

Since I Left You
13.  Since I Left You by Avalanches
The list author says:
  "Weird, weird, weird. Also, great, great, great. Samples everywhere, which leads to an interesting album. I saw these at Creamfields a couple of years ago, and they were awesome."
£7.46   Used & New from: £0.61
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (34 customer reviews)

The Cream Of Clapton
14.  The Cream Of Clapton by Eric Clapton
The list author says:
  "It's easy to forget what an eclectic artist Eric Clapton was; this greatest hits compilation reminds you of what a versatile man he was. I must admit that I'm not so keen on his singing though...:S."
£4.69   Used & New from: £0.15
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

At The River
15.  At The River by Groove Armada
The list author says:
  "OK, so this is a single. But it's quite possibly the most chilled-out, relaxing single I've ever been fortunate enough to buy."
Used & New from: £1.16
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

The Battle Of Los Angeles
16.  The Battle Of Los Angeles by Rage Against The Machine
The list author says:
  "The best RATM album. An amazingly powerful message delivered in scorching style. Turn this one all the way up to 11!"
£3.99   Used & New from: £0.23
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (53 customer reviews)
