4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Abbey Road

4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (169 customer reviews)

#1 Record

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars: Remastered
5.  The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders from Mars: Remastered by David Bowie

4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (60 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Wolfmother
6.  Wolfmother by Wolfmother

£4.99   Used & New from: £1.98
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (46 customer reviews)

Led Zeppelin IV
7.  Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (82 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Band of Gypsys

Humbug
9.  Humbug by Arctic Monkeys
The list author says:
  "Oh yes. Don't say you don't like it until you've heard it at least twice. These songs ingrain themselves into you, not a hit machine it's a sophisticated reward, timeless. The best of the new breed."
£6.37   Used & New from: £3.43
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (104 customer reviews) | 5 customer discussions

Talking Book
10.  Talking Book by Stevie Wonder

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

Fruit
11.  Fruit by The Asteroids Galaxy Tour

£7.49   Used & New from: £4.26
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (14 customer reviews)

Favourite Worst Nightmare

£5.99   Used & New from: £0.01
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (125 customer reviews)

Youth And Young Manhood
13.  Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon

£3.49   Used & New from: £0.01
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (110 customer reviews)

MTV Unplugged In New York
15.  MTV Unplugged In New York by Nirvana
The list author says:
  "I've chosen this over Nevermind because it's different. It exposes the beauty in Cobain's voice and the pop sensibility of the band. More than grunge, more than fashion they were proper musicians"
£4.99   Used & New from: £0.82
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (76 customer reviews)

The Queen Is Dead
16.  The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths

Blood On The Tracks
17.  Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan

£5.39   Used & New from: £2.25
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (73 customer reviews)

Rumours
18.  Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
The list author says:
  "Brilliant. The best of the emotionally charged, pop masters. How could such beauty come out of such hate and personal issues no one will ever know."
£15.22   Used & New from: £6.97
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (103 customer reviews)

Toys In The Attic
19.  Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
The list author says:
  "They may be The Rolling Stones part 2 but Aerosmith know how to ROCK! Walk This Way is the most addictive riff ever, Sweet Emotion is gorgeous, Uncle Salty brilliant and Big Ten Inch Record hysterical"
£2.99   Used & New from: £1.24
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (20 customer reviews)

Appetite For Destruction
20.  Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses

£4.99   Used & New from: £1.30
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (153 customer reviews)

White Sugar
21.  White Sugar by Joanne Shaw Taylor
The list author says:
  "Another unknown one, Joanne Shaw Taylor is an English (oh yes), female (oh yes) Blues musician and can really play. Addictive and legitimate this is the real deal. Perfect blues."
£11.77   Used & New from: £8.10
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (53 customer reviews)

Sticky Fingers
22.  Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
The list author says:
  "Exile On Main Street is notoriously hard to find, Let It Bleed too obvious so I've plumped for this. Odd cover sure but what a collection of songs. Brown Sugar, Can't You Hear Me Knockin' are awesome"
£4.99   Used & New from: £4.98
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (39 customer reviews)

Revolver
23.  Revolver by The Beatles
The list author says:
  "Another Beatles album yes, and not Sgt. Pepper as well. Revolver and Rubber Soul were the middle ground between mop-top and costume and represent the best of The Beatles."
£7.78   Used & New from: £6.49
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (162 customer reviews)

Peace Love Death Metal
24.  Peace Love Death Metal by Eagles of Death Metal
The list author says:
  "No it's not actually death metal. Hooky, Stonesy bluesy air guitar riff rock is the precedent here. The songs are perfect, and won't leave your head for days"
Used & New from: £9.40
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

The Bends
25.  The Bends by Radiohead
The list author says:

£4.89   Used & New from: £0.68
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (138 customer reviews)
