Automatic For The People (U.S. Version)
1.  Automatic For The People (U.S. Version) by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "Power pop by numbers really. Scarcely a duff track here. 'Try Not To Breathe' should have been released as a single. Would have been massive."
£4.92   Used & New from: £0.01
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (74 customer reviews)

Foxtrot (Remastered)
4.  Foxtrot (Remastered) by Genesis
The list author says:
  "If I was only ever allowed to listen to just one album, then this would almost certainly be it. If you don't like this, you are either not listening to it properly, or you're not from this planet."
Used & New from: £3.14

Selling England By The Pound
5.  Selling England By The Pound by Genesis

All Things Must Pass
6.  All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
The list author says:
  "George Harrison saw the inevitable falling apart of the Beatles and (rather smartly) kept some of the nuggets for himself."

Thick As a Brick
7.  Thick As a Brick by Jethro Tull
The list author says:
  "Hard to pick a JethroTull album as there are so many good ones. This wins though, due to the fantastic concept as well as the notion that a 'Gerald Bostock'? provided the lyrics. Huh?"
£8.69   Used & New from: £6.87
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (33 customer reviews)

Goodbye Yellowbrick Road
8.  Goodbye Yellowbrick Road by Elton John
The list author says:
  "Well there had to be one, didn't there? Forget all the Best Ofs and Greatest Hits - this album completely encapsulates Sir EJ. Realistically, every track could have been a hit single."
Used & New from: £16.95
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (31 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Argus
9.  Argus by Wishbone Ash
The list author says:
  "'Sometime World' is worth the admission price on its own. I defy you not to tap your foot to this one. Great stuff throughout this album."

Crime Of The Century
10.  Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
The list author says:
  "I bought this when it was released in'74. Hated it - took it back to the shop and exchanged it. Big mistake. I should have persevered. Bought it again last year. Glad I did."
£4.99   Used & New from: £1.99

Sticky Fingers
11.  Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
The list author says:
  "It's a close one between this & Exile. For the original packaging, it wins hands down, although I can't forget how my vinyl copy (complete with zip) ruined the cover of the LP that preceded it!"
Used & New from: £2.06

Just Like Blood
12.  Just Like Blood by Tom McRae

Used & New from: £0.01

Macalla
13.  Macalla by Clannad

Takk...
14.  Takk... by Sigur Rós

Memorial Beach
15.  Memorial Beach by a-ha

What Price Paradise
16.  What Price Paradise by China Crisis
The list author says:

Colour
17.  Colour by Christians
The list author says:
  "Released to some rave reviews I recall, but not much action sadly from the record buying public. It should have been massive. Gary Christian's voice should be declared a national treasure."

East Side Story
20.  East Side Story by Squeeze
The list author says:
  "Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook deserved to achieve total world domination as songwriters. Is there a subject on earth they haven't written about?"

Marbles
22.  Marbles by Marillion
The list author says:
  "I've selected this album, but almost any would do. Their music taken as a whole is just incredble. Lyrics can be trite at times though."

Propaganda
24.  Propaganda by Sparks

Mccartney [Us Import]
25.  Mccartney [Us Import] by Paul McCartney
The list author says:
  "At this stage, McCartney (still under the quality control influence of Lennon) was writing brilliant stuff. As time progresses however, his songwriting talent all but deserts him. Very sad really."
