Abbey Road
1.  Abbey Road by The Beatles
The list author says:
  "If The Beatles are considered to be great 20th century composers, this would be their greatest symphony. If you put on the first track, you'll probably listen right to the last."
Used & New from: £3.15

Five Leaves Left
3.  Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (66 customer reviews)

From The Outside
4.  From The Outside by Bert Jansch
The list author says:
  "Bert Jansch's early albums are considered to be his best, but this later album is, in my opinion, his most staggering. An tutor of songwriting disguised as a record."
Used & New from: £10.00

Sail Away
5.  Sail Away by Randy Newman
The list author says:
  "We all need a little Randy Newman to keep our feet on the ground. This is the album we all need."

4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Band On The Run (2 bonus tracks)
6.  Band On The Run (2 bonus tracks) by Paul McCartney
The list author says:
  "Douglas Adams said 'for sheer musicality, invention and drive, there's no one better than McCartney'. I agree entirely. This album is a good way of proving the point."
Used & New from: £5.49

Fantasia Lindum
7.  Fantasia Lindum by Amazing Blondel
The list author says:
  "I saw Blondel a handful of times a few years ago. They're the band that would have been doing a gig at Elizabeth Ist's local folk club, had they have lived four hundred years before."
Used & New from: £12.00
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Dark Side of the Moon
8.  Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd
The list author says:
  "Apparently, this album goes well with The Wizard of Oz. It also goes well with alcohol. Put this on after a night out on the town."
Used & New from: £3.58
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (216 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Up to Now
9.  Up to Now by Dransfield
The list author says:
  "This is a 'best of' CD, but I think it deserves to be on the list. The Dransfields' harmonies are better than the Everley Bros."
Used & New from: £76.28
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

And So It Goes
10.  And So It Goes by Steve Tilston
The list author says:
  "Steve Tilston is an incredible songwriter - his melodies, his lyrics, his guitar playing and voice, all brilliant. This is my favourite album of his, although 'Acoustic Confusion' is a close second."
Used & New from: £12.94
