Essential Ear Stuff (In My View)

A Listmania! list by Mr J Byrne (Colchester, Essex United Kingdom)
 
Generation Terrorists
1.  Generation Terrorists by Manic Street Preachers
The list author says:
  "The Manics' debut album ... 18 tracks of guitar bliss.  Usual blend of anthems, melancholy and highly political lyrics.  All in the style of a top stadium rock act a la Guns n Roses ... BUY IT BUY IT!"

Gold Against the Soul
2.  Gold Against the Soul by Manic Street Preachers
The list author says:
  "Album numero 2 ... More angry-ness all driven by some excellent guitar work from Mr Bradfield.  Massively underrated.  A fine album."
£4.08   Used & New from: £0.01

The Holy Bible
3.  The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
The list author says:
  "Darker than the darkest chocolate!  But great to listen to if you're really rather cheesed off and want a way of expressing your anger.  Disturbing, yes but VERY powerful."
£4.19   Used & New from: £0.19

Everything Must Go
4.  Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
The list author says:
  "The first Manics album you might have heard of ... A stunning collection of sublime anthems that brought so much overdue success. This album saved me from a lifetime of Oasis obsession."
£4.68   Used & New from: £0.01

This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours
5.  This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours by Manic Street Preachers
The list author says:
  "Some say the Manics sold out here. I say get your head checked. Who wants a band to stay exactly the same forever? (cf Oasis).  This is beautiful, haunting, melancholy. A new flavour for the Manics."
£5.47   Used & New from: £0.01

Know Your Enemy
6.  Know Your Enemy by Manic Street Preachers
The list author says:
  "Ok, this album is a little strange but worth a try.  When it's good it's very good (Found That Soul, Dead Martyrs, Freedom of Speech, Baby Elian) and when it stinks ... Try it & make up your own mind!"
£5.47   Used & New from: £0.01

Lifeblood
7.  Lifeblood by Manic Street Preachers
The list author says:
  "Style wise similar to This Is My Truth but not quite as fantastic.  Don't bother with the first two tracks, but once you get past them and listen a few times it's a great album"
£5.47   Used & New from: £0.99
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (57 customer reviews)

Forever Delayed
8.  Forever Delayed by Manic Street Preachers
The list author says:
  "Cleverly titled a "Greatest Hits" album as it leaves the rich resource of some superb album tracks untapped.  A good intro to the band and worth it for "Theme from M*A*S*H - Suicide is Painless" alone"
£5.99   Used & New from: £0.13
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (45 customer reviews)

Lipstick Traces - A Secret History
9.  Lipstick Traces - A Secret History by Manic Street Preachers
The list author says:
  "The flipside of the MSP coin contains some obscure material including previously unreleased "Judge Yourself", the storming "Forever Delayed", various excellent cover versions and the stunning "Sepia"."
£5.99   Used & New from: £1.17

Who Killed The Zutons [New Version]
10.  Who Killed The Zutons [New Version] by The Zutons
The list author says:
  "Liverpool's latest musical contribution.  Energetic, quirky and a lot of fun.  I've listened to this album so many times the last few weeks the neighbours are probably complaining - I can't hear them!"
£6.18   Used & New from: £0.01

There Is Nothing Left To Lose
11.  There Is Nothing Left To Lose by Foo Fighters
The list author says:
  "Dave Grohl is one of those annoying people who are just far too talented.  Here he has produced an unbelievable rock album ... of songs you just got to sing along with! Crazy!"
£7.00   Used & New from: £0.39

My Generation - The Very Best of The Who
12.  My Generation - The Very Best of The Who by The Who
The list author says:
  "They have the Magic Bus in Manchester. It's big and blue and cheap. I wish they played "Magic Bus" by The Who on them. Absolute quality album by the way!"

The Joshua Tree
13.  The Joshua Tree by U2
The list author says:
  "Buy this CD.  Get in your car.  Turn up the volume. Wind down the windows. And play Tracks 1-3. Just remember, you do need to keep your eye on the road."

The Story Of The Clash Volume 1
14.  The Story Of The Clash Volume 1 by The Clash
The list author says:
  "A fine introduction to The Clash ... includes all the greats - but I'll let you decide which ones you think they are ... Aren't I democratic?"

Twenty Something
15.  Twenty Something by Jamie Cullum

Runaway Jury (OST)
16.  Runaway Jury (OST) by Christopher Young
The list author says:
  "A super soundtrack for a fantastic film. If bored, you can play trying to remember what was happening in the film during this music. Lacks Norah Jones' rendition of "Heart of Mine" though ..."

School Of Rock [Music From And Inspired By The Motion Picture]
17.  School Of Rock [Music From And Inspired By The Motion Picture] by Jack Black
The list author says:
  "In the film Jack Black gives the kids a thorough overview of rock music. This CD is a more elementary - a brief introduction ... but a quite fabulous soundtrack, all interspersed with movie quotes!"

Comfort in Sound
19.  Comfort in Sound by Feeder
The list author says:

Modern Classics: The Greatest Hits
20.  Modern Classics: The Greatest Hits by Paul Weller
The list author says:
  "Gruff & uncle-like, Paul Weller does it all so well. Certainly not the highly polished boy-band vocals, but rich in top quality songs eg "You Do Something To Me" if this song doesn't, you must be dead"
£4.56   Used & New from: £0.01

Word Gets Around
21.  Word Gets Around by Stereophonics
The list author says:
  "Their best album.  From start to finish, not a chink in the Stereophonic armour.  Kelly Jones' constant Rod Stewart impression works very well on the up tempo Brit rock."
£4.39   Used & New from: £0.19

Revolver
23.  Revolver by The Beatles
The list author says:
  "Despite "Yellow Submarine", this IS the best album by The Beatles. My favourites are "She Said She Said", "And Your Bird Can Sing" and "Taxman", but there's so much to choose from!"

A Hard Day's Night
24.  A Hard Day's Night by The Beatles
The list author says:
  "Rarely cited among their best efforts, but one of my favourites.  The first 7 tracks were used in the film of the same name, but it's the last six which I particularly like - Superb!"

The Very Best Of The Jam
25.  The Very Best Of The Jam by The Jam
The list author says:
  "Early days of Paul Weller ... Frantic energy, witty lyrics and a lot of heart. "Town Called Malice", "Start", "News of The World" ... the whole album, in fact, is just unbelievably good!"
£4.99   Used & New from: £2.14
