Mal's Top Albums (1)

A Listmania! list by Cheekygit (UK)
 
Cold Roses
1.  Cold Roses by Ryan Adams
The list author says:
  "My favourite of all the Ryan Adams albums. A 19 song double CD set of mellow country and melancholy low-key rock. Thus far, he has yet to better this masterpiece."
£7.66   Used & New from: £1.54
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (33 customer reviews)

Boxer
2.  Boxer by The National
The list author says:
  "Obscure lyrical imagery combined with melodies of stark beauty. Give it the time it deserves and you will be handsomely rewarded."
£10.28   Used & New from: £5.68
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (50 customer reviews)

Toys In The Attic
3.  Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
The list author says:
  "The album that sent Aerosmith stratospheric. Their Stones/Yardbirds hybrid of razor riffs and sassy lyrics gelled to make a hard rock classic. Old school boogie at its finest!"
£3.36   Used & New from: £1.63
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (23 customer reviews)

Who's Next (Deluxe Edition)
4.  Who's Next (Deluxe Edition) by The Who
The list author says:
  "The Who at their recording peak. Every track (except the ordinary "Going Mobile") hits the bullseye. 40 years on it still sounds as fresh and vibrant as ever."
£16.00   Used & New from: £6.55
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (91 customer reviews)

Skins
5.  Skins by Buffalo Tom
The list author says:
  "2011 release from BT which has already become a firm favourite. Every track is a winner!"
£11.00   Used & New from: £3.18
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

Teaser
6.  Teaser by Tommy Bolin
The list author says:
  "Rock to funk to jazz to reggae, this is one eclectic album but all underpinned by TB's fiery guitar. The production isn't great but the music still overcomes it."
Used & New from: £20.28

Exile On Main Street [Remastered]
7.  Exile On Main Street [Remastered] by The Rolling Stones
The list author says:
  "The '68-'72 period was a purple patch for the Stones when they crafted their best music. 40 years on, Exile's mix of hard rock and earthy blues is still irrestible."
£5.00   Used & New from: £3.73
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (138 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Odyssey Number 5
8.  Odyssey Number 5 by Powderfinger
The list author says:
  "Worth owning just for "Waiting for the Sun" and "These Days" but this rates as one of the Powdies best albums, along with 2003's 'Vulture Street'. Radio friendly Oz-rock with soul."
£23.99   Used & New from: £0.01
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (25 customer reviews)

Vs.
9.  Vs. by Pearl Jam
The list author says:
  "PJ purists mostly cite debut album "Ten" as the bands best but IMHO 'Vs' rates higher. "Animal","Rearviewmirror","Daughter","Indifference" are all among PJ's best and can be found here."
£10.49   Used & New from: £0.48
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (40 customer reviews)

The Principle Of Moments
10.  The Principle Of Moments by Robert Plant
The list author says:
  "2nd post-Zep solo album from Percy. Expansive widescreen arrangements much removed from Zep's claustrophobic blues. "Other Arms","Messin' with the Mekon" & "Big Log" are real quality."
£4.97   Used & New from: £1.95
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Spirit Of Eden
11.  Spirit Of Eden by Talk Talk
The list author says:
  "A singular musical experience. This is an album that must be listened to without distraction or interruption. "Wealth" is the most desolate yet achingly beautiful piece I have ever heard."
£8.99   Used & New from: £1.83
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (58 customer reviews)

Shake Your Money Maker
12.  Shake Your Money Maker by Black Crowes
The list author says:
  "Classic debut. The bands subsequent albums each had some great tracks but no album was so consistent in quality as this. "Twice as Hard" & "Jealous Again" stand out but every track is a winner."
£6.33   Used & New from: £0.98
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

The Science of Things
13.  The Science of Things by Bush
The list author says:
  "As grunge was dying, Bush were shaking off the 'Nirvana clones' tag to shine in their own right with this heroic album. Top tracks "Space Travel","The Chemicals Between Us","Letting the Cables Sleep"."
£4.99   Used & New from: £0.72
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

The Bends
14.  The Bends by Radiohead
The list author says:
  "Why the world went bonkers for "OK Computer" when this, its predecessor, was far superior is beyond me. "The Bends","Bones","Street Spirit","Just","Black Star" - the biz!!"
£5.00   Used & New from: £0.01
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (155 customer reviews)

Big Red Letter Day
15.  Big Red Letter Day by Buffalo Tom
The list author says:
  "Bill Janovitz and his BT buddies never got the recognition they deserved. They released a string of critically acclaimed albums. This is my personal favourite."
£6.20   Used & New from: £0.16
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

August & Everything After
16.  August & Everything After by Counting Crows
The list author says:
  "Any CC album is worth having but this, their debut from '94, set the bar very high for their later albums. Earnest but rich in imagery."
£6.89   Used & New from: £0.01
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (88 customer reviews)

Bandwagonesque
17.  Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
The list author says:
  "The 'Fannies landmark album from '91. Every home should have a copy by law. Don't analyse it - just get it!"
£3.77   Used & New from: £1.56
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

Expecting To Fly
18.  Expecting To Fly by Bluetones
The list author says:
  "Debut from '96. great songs, great guitar and lovely understated vocal. End to end classic that set the bar pretty high for the other britpop wannabees."
£3.79   Used & New from: £0.01
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (22 customer reviews)

Songs From Northern Britain
19.  Songs From Northern Britain by Teenage Fanclub
The list author says:
  "The Big Star/Byrds influences are obvious but the consistent quality of this album betters anything either of those bands ever mustered. Vocal harmonies and melodies to die for."
£5.98   Used & New from: £0.01
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Placebo
20.  Placebo by Placebo
The list author says:
  "Placebo's debut bristled with nervous energy & still remains (for me) their best. Hidden track "HK Farewell" is a dark moody piece well worth waiting the 8/9 mins of silence after "Swallow" for."
£4.75   Used & New from: £0.01
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (39 customer reviews)

Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley
21.  Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley by Robert Palmer
The list author says:
  "His 1st solo album from '74. Backed by members of Little Feat & The Meters this is one slice of smooth New Orleans funk. If your toes don't tap then check you still have a pulse."
£8.27   Used & New from: £3.82
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Stray Dog (Expanded Edition)
22.  Stray Dog (Expanded Edition) by Stray Dog
The list author says:
  "Fasten Your Seat Belts!!! announces Snuffy Walden at the start of track 1 and what follows is indeed a wild ride. Swaggering Texas blues rock with attitude. "Chevrolet" struts like a Bangkok hooker!."
£12.00   Used & New from: £8.59
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

16 and Savaged
23.  16 and Savaged by Silverhead
The list author says:
  "The album that made me want to be in a band. UK-Stones-meets-T.Rex-glam rock with a sleazy undercurrent. Titles like "More than your mouth can hold" sum up where this band were at. Great stuff!!."
Used & New from: £39.43
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Fully Completely
24.  Fully Completely by The Tragically Hip
The list author says:
  "Canada's finest; 'The Hip' have consistently delivered some great albums but this ranks among their very best"
£10.76   Used & New from: £0.44
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)
