Stoned
2.  Stoned by Lewis Taylor
The list author says:

Lewis Taylor
3.  Lewis Taylor by Lewis Taylor
The list author says:
  "Where I discovered Lewis, on the stunning "Lucky" - imagine Curtis Mayfield or Marvin Gaye being remixed by Portishead after they had taken some very dubious chemicals"

Goes Around Comes Around
4.  Goes Around Comes Around by Fono
The list author says:
  "Great alt-rock. Touches of both OK Computer and Bends-era radiohead, the manics, the foos plus their own idiosyncracies. Alcatraz and Pusherman are epic. Again UK and US versions with different tracks"
Used & New from: £0.01
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

feather & stone
5.  feather & stone by Tom Baxter
The list author says:
  "A touch of Buckley. Not every track is great...but those that are - wow! Also seek out his breathless acoustic "Whole of The Moon" cover"
£5.19   Used & New from: £1.75
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (34 customer reviews)

Still Life
6.  Still Life by Aqualung
The list author says:
  "Piano driven beauty all the way through. Two versions with slightly different mix of one of the songs. A world away from the demo feel of his debut"
Used & New from: £1.98
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (17 customer reviews)

The Great War of Words
7.  The Great War of Words by Brian Kennedy
The list author says:
  "Acoustic sometimes esoteric instrumentation, typically sparse yet beautiful and warmer production by Talk Talk collaborator. Vocals-Jeff Buckley meets Aaron Neville. Brian never bettered this debut."
£18.68   Used & New from: £0.49
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Spirit of Eden: Remastered
8.  Spirit of Eden: Remastered by Talk Talk
The list author says:
  "Kid A but 80s and acoustic? Those in the know shout about this album, but I think there are many still ignorant of its timeless quality. I suspect many inc.Four Tet, Elbow, & Thom have drawn from here"
£14.33   Used & New from: £5.80
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (51 customer reviews)

Storm Hymnal: Gems from the Vault
9.  Storm Hymnal: Gems from the Vault by Grant Lee Buffalo
The list author says:
  "A greatest hits chosen purely because I coudn't decide which album to highlight! Touches of Dylan, Waterboys, grunge, folk, burlesque and pure originality"
£15.22   Used & New from: £3.91
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Red Letter Days
10.  Red Letter Days by The Wallflowers
The list author says:
  ""They say there isn't any such thing as bad luck/yeah well once i shot an arrow in the sky and it stuck" ...Bob Dylan's son and lyrical quality appears genetic!"
£51.37   Used & New from: £22.27
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Into the Woods
11.  Into the Woods by Call
The list author says:
  "U2 with less fans and a little more meat to their lyrics...not to mention a great lost rock vocalist"
Used & New from: £17.66
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

See buying options
Rounds
12.  Rounds by Four Tet
The list author says:
  "Folk instrumentation and passages of near silent delicacy collide with buzzing samples and skittering loops not to mention the odd groove. Unique and beautiful"
£6.99   Used & New from: £2.79
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (18 customer reviews)

Never, Never, Land
13.  Never, Never, Land by U.N.K.L.E.
The list author says:
  "Available in a plethora of different editions/track listings! Epic dance music - imagine Pink Floyd making Dark Side of The Moon for the 21stC. Eye popping Eye for An Eye video."
Used & New from: £0.79
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (26 customer reviews)

See buying options
Robbie Robertson
14.  Robbie Robertson by Robbie Robertson
