A Listmania! list by Rory "a man of poverty & taste" (in Sunny Sunderland)
 
BEST OF
1.  BEST OF by Buffalo Tom
The list author says:
  "A great introduction to a severely underrated band. If you like rock you really should check this out."
£3.50   Used & New from: £2.23
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

Rembrandt Pussyhorse: Remastered
2.  Rembrandt Pussyhorse: Remastered by Butthole Surfers
The list author says:
  "The critics get worked up over "Locust..." but all the Buttholes fans I've ever known are torn between this & "Hairway...". Obviously, I reckon this is their best. Deranged brilliance."
£13.03   Used & New from: £6.99
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Bizarro
3.  Bizarro by The Wedding Present
The list author says:
  "I'd recommend their entire back catalogue, to be honest! This, though, is a must-have. Davis Gedge is one of the best songwriters of his generation & he's on top form here."
£3.99   Used & New from: £1.90
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (18 customer reviews)

Four Thousand Seven Hundred
4.  Four Thousand Seven Hundred by Teenage Fanclub
The list author says:

Used & New from: £9.14
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Songbook The Singles
5.  Songbook The Singles by Super Furry Animals
The list author says:
  "Another band who are inexplicably not massive. Even if you're a fan this is worth getting for the non-LP tracks. If you don't like even one of these songs there's probably something wrong with you."
£4.97   Used & New from: £1.13
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

Simple Pleasure [Includes Bonus Disc]
6.  Simple Pleasure [Includes Bonus Disc] by Tindersticks
The list author says:
  "Sumptuous, soul-tinged... it's Tindersticks at their best & a great starting point. No-one handles an orchestra like these guys, either."
Used & New from: £60.00
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

London Calling
7.  London Calling by The Clash
The list author says:
  "There really is no excuse for not having this. In my opinion their best LP & one of the best rock LPs of all time."
£5.17   Used & New from: £1.98
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (77 customer reviews)

Bug: Remastered
8.  Bug: Remastered by Dinosaur Jr.
The list author says:
  "This is a landmark record. A perfect blend of indie & noise with the awesome "Freak Scene" the obvious standout."
£7.57   Used & New from: £6.30
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Nothing's Shocking
9.  Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
The list author says:
  "An absolute classic, there's no other way to describe it. Massive riffs, intelligent lyrics, beautiful ballads. I can't recommend this highly enough"
£4.97   Used & New from: £0.61
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

A Healthy Distrust
10.  A Healthy Distrust by Sage Francis
The list author says:
  "A genuinely intelligent rapper with something to say putting his point across eloquently to an awesome backing. It really does show up most mainstream hip hop acts."
£7.87   Used & New from: £3.98
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Blue Lines
11.  Blue Lines by Massive Attack
The list author says:
  "A masterpiece, & probably their best LP. Only "Mezzanine" comes close. Every home should have one."
£5.79   Used & New from: £0.49
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (35 customer reviews)

Gentlemen
12.  Gentlemen by Afghan Whigs
The list author says:
  "This group just seemed to get ignored for some reason. This is an outstanding rock record exploring the darker side of relationships."
£4.99   Used & New from: £3.13
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Angel Dust
13.  Angel Dust by Faith No More
The list author says:
  "I think this is one of the albums of the 90's. Definitely a career high for FNM & one every self respecting rock fan should own."
£4.77   Used & New from: £2.94
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (38 customer reviews)

Hyaena
14.  Hyaena by Siouxsie & The Banshees
The list author says:
  "This is one of my favourite Siousxie LPs & I reckon it's a good introduction to one of the best acts of the past 20 years or so."

Truth And Soul
15.  Truth And Soul by Fishbone
The list author says:
  "I've never met anyone who doesn't like at least some of this ska/funk/rock/soul record. There's another version of this available with "I Like To Hide Behind My Glasses" on which is well worth finding"
Used & New from: £6.63
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Daydream Nation
16.  Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
The list author says:

4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (29 customer reviews)

MARCH TO FUZZ
17.  MARCH TO FUZZ by Mudhoney
The list author says:
  "Another best of, but if you've never heard Mudhoney (& really, you should have!) I can't think of a better place to start. Garage punk brilliance."

1000 Kisses
19.  1000 Kisses by Patty Griffin

Reading Writing and Arithmetic

Treasure
22.  Treasure by Cocteau Twins

Fables Of The Reconstruction (The I.R.S. Years Vintage)
24.  Fables Of The Reconstruction (The I.R.S. Years Vintage) by R.E.M.
The list author says:
  "This is my favourite REM LP from back when they were an essential act rather than coasting along. Their first 5 LPs are all essential, mind"

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

The Middle Of Nowhere
25.  The Middle Of Nowhere by Orbital
The list author says:
  "My personal pick of the brothers Hartnoll's outstanding contribution to modern music. "Work"is a better introduction but none of the versions on it are definitive, which is why I just went with this."

4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)
