A Listmania! list by Joe Fraser (mostly from London)
 
Electro-Shock Blues
1.  Electro-Shock Blues by Eels

Blonde On Blonde
2.  Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
The list author says:
  "Bob Dylan is a Shakespeare of our era. We should all feel privileged that our lives coincided. This is his Hamlet. That would make Desire his King Lear and Blood on the tracks his Romeo & Juliet...no?"

Ease Down The Road
3.  Ease Down The Road by Bonnie Prince Billy
The list author says:
  "Will Oldham has a voice that confers sublime peace and humilitity. He's so light-hearted it makes me float. Got his fingers in the earth. A wonderfully refreshing break from modern music's narcissism"
£12.00   Used & New from: £3.69

First Rays Of The New Rising Sun
4.  First Rays Of The New Rising Sun by Jimi Hendrix
The list author says:
  "Jimi Hendrix is to his guitar like a Samurai master is to his sword. Who wouldn't want to experience the sound of a man slicing the universe in half with his electric guitar?"

Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.5
5.  Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.5 by Ludwig van Beethoven
The list author says:
  "Is this the greatest piece of music ever composed? I'm too young to comment but so far yes. They should pipe Adagio Un Poco Mosso on repeat into the whole of London at rush hour. We'd all become monks"
Used & New from: £8.98

The Complete Recordings: All 41 Recordings
6.  The Complete Recordings: All 41 Recordings by Robert Johnson

OK Computer
7.  OK Computer by Radiohead
The list author says:
  "Mesmerizing. The ultimate soundtrack for a disillusioned mind. Try listening to this on the tube or on Oxford street and feel the despair burn your soul. Great stuff"
£4.99   Used & New from: £0.74

Bryter Layter
8.  Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
The list author says:
  "Apparently Brad Pitt loves this album. Always knew I liked him. I played it to a Japanese guy once and he's worshipped me ever since. It plays particularly well walking through airports. No idea why"
£5.39   Used & New from: £1.99

Confrontation
9.  Confrontation by Bob Marley
The list author says:
  "Apparently Tom Cruise hates this album. That's how good it is. Anyway I think he's making a big mistake and should switch to Rastafarianism as soon as possible"
£5.77   Used & New from: £4.40

Harvest
10.  Harvest by Neil Young
The list author says:
  "Neil Young is an alien. So's Joni Mitchel. Imagine what their children would have been like. These commentries are getting silly. Will try to be more serious"

I Am A Bird Now
11.  I Am A Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
The list author says:
  "This album is just so beautiful I can't believe it's real. His hormones are all over the place - an unusual kind of suffering - great for the pain tourist"
Used & New from: £2.49

I'M Wide Awake It'S Morning
12.  I'M Wide Awake It'S Morning by Bright Eyes
The list author says:
  "My most recent obsession. This guy's really got it. Contains the line 'If you love something then give it away'. Is this why I'm doing this list? You still have to buy them though"
£13.69   Used & New from: £6.00

What's Bin Did And What's Bin Hid
13.  What's Bin Did And What's Bin Hid by Donovan
The list author says:
  "I love Donovan. 'Catch The Wind' is still my favourite song of all time. Dylan didn't like the 'de-dede-de-dede's' but he can't always be right"
£5.77   Used & New from: £4.49

Hunky Dory: Remastered
14.  Hunky Dory: Remastered by David Bowie
The list author says:
  "Another alien. Definately his best album. I've loved this album since I was 10. That's time-tested. 'Quicksand' is one of the joys of Western Civilisation"
£4.27   Used & New from: £3.05

Brainwashed
15.  Brainwashed by George Harrison
The list author says:
  "I love John Lennon but I still think George Harrison was the biggest reason why the Beatles were so great. This album makes me want to stare at the sun and melt away"

Absolution
16.  Absolution by Muse
The list author says:
  "I've listened to 'Blackout' more times than any other song and it still takes me places I never knew existed. It's in my top 3 songs of all time ever. Why don't they do more like it?"
£5.99   Used & New from: £0.36

Discovery of a World Inside The Moone
17.  Discovery of a World Inside The Moone by The Apples In Stereo
The list author says:
  "Robert Schneider is shockingly talented. I still can't believe he exists. If this album had 'The Oasis' and 'The Benefits Of Lying With Your Friends' on it would be very near the top of the list"
Used & New from: £1.12

The Creek Drank The Cradle

Death Of A Ladies' Man
19.  Death Of A Ladies' Man by Leonard Cohen
The list author says:
  "My favourite Leonard Cohen album. Actually I don't really like Leonard Cohen. I feel he's somehow a bit contrived, like wisdom is a shirt he thinks he looks good in or something"
£3.79   Used & New from: £1.98

Good Morning Spider
20.  Good Morning Spider by Sparklehorse
The list author says:
  "Another whisperer. Marginally better than 'Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot'. Both utterly sublime. Mark Linkous suffers from bad knees. So do I. Is this the emotional connection?"
£5.97   Used & New from: £0.46

Bob Dylan Live 1975: the Rolling Thunder Revue
21.  Bob Dylan Live 1975: the Rolling Thunder Revue by Bob Dylan
The list author says:
  "This is a recording of the greatest concert of all time ever (don't doubt me). Dylan's voice is electric. The biggest reason why I wish they'd invent a time machine. Play it loud"
Used & New from: £9.99

Either/Or
22.  Either/Or by Elliott Smith
The list author says:
  "Elliott Smith is eerie yet warm, tortured yet life-affirming; sweet and sour really. Could be massively underrated. How is he rated? Who does the rating anyway? I'm doing it. He's GREAT."
£4.99   Used & New from: £2.07

The Best of Arvo Pärt (Classics for Pleasure)
23.  The Best of Arvo Pärt (Classics for Pleasure) by Tasmin Little
The list author says:
  "Been trying to avoid best of's but had to here - only if you haven't heard his music before though. Arvo Part only composes music for God. Oh and maybe Paul Reid. Anyone else is just coincidental"
£2.99   Used & New from: £2.96

The Joshua Tree
24.  The Joshua Tree by U2
The list author says:
  "Tony Blair's favourite song is 'Where The Streets Have No Name'. How weird is that? I wish he'd tried to have street names banned in London just to hear his reasons for it"
Used & New from: £0.33
