(REAL NAME)   
 
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
1.  Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins
The list author says:
  "A True Masterpiece. Although Siamese Dream was great, this album stands out for its incredible ambition and the fact that every song is a classic, whether dreamy (Tonight, Tonight) or heavy (Bodies)."
£9.14   Used & New from: £1.86
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (76 customer reviews)

Waterloo to Anywhere
2.  Waterloo to Anywhere by Dirty Pretty Things
The list author says:
  "This album reeks of Carl Barat's anger and frustration but from it, he has created one of the best albums of all time, whether in the mocking Gin & Milk or closing lullaby B.U.R.M.A."
£4.68   Used & New from: £0.01
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (35 customer reviews)

I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love
3.  I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love by My Chemical Romance
The list author says:
  "Probably MCR's best album, their debut was a grim tale of a town overrun by vampires and although fantasist, Ray's spectacular work and Gerard's screams create an album which is almost flawless."
Used & New from: £2.17
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (39 customer reviews)

Making Dens
4.  Making Dens by Mystery Jets
The list author says:
  "From the jingly "You Can't Fool Me..." to the sensitive "Little Bag Of Hair" and back to the prog-rock thrills of "Zootime" this album is the definitive introduction to Thamesbeat."
Used & New from: £3.74

The Freedom Spark
5.  The Freedom Spark by Larrikin Love
The list author says:
  "And but a few months later, Larrikin Love showed Mystery Jets how to properly rock out Thamesbeat style with an album yearning for freedom from a Britian that has nothing left to offer us."
£3.35   Used & New from: £0.37
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Voices Of Animals & Men (Cd)
6.  Voices Of Animals & Men (Cd) by Young Knives
The list author says:
  "The Young Knives returned with an album that contained both smash hits (She's Attracted To) and hidden gems (Dialing Darling), this album sparkled and showed off The Young Knives faultless art-punk."
£2.35   Used & New from: £0.29
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

Silent Alarm
7.  Silent Alarm by Bloc Party
The list author says:
  "Dark, brooding, uplifting, spirited, intense, intrinsic. Silent Alarm was all these things and more. Kele is a voice for a new, disenfranchised generation."
£6.89   Used & New from: £0.01
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (104 customer reviews)

Funeral
8.  Funeral by Arcade Fire
The list author says:

£6.69   Used & New from: £1.98
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (151 customer reviews)

A Call and Response
9.  A Call and Response by The Longcut
The list author says:
  "A Call & Response is fiery, intense and generally difficult to describe. It's just best to say this feedback-drenched, aggresive music is brilliant."
£2.99   Used & New from: £0.73
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

A Fever You Can'T Sweat Out (International Release)
10.  A Fever You Can'T Sweat Out (International Release) by Panic! at the Disco

£5.57   Used & New from: £0.49
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (110 customer reviews)

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
15.  Clap Your Hands Say Yeah by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
The list author says:
  "Unsigned indie with a singer whose voice is on the very border between ear-catching and irritating, this album is nevertheless perfect mixing Talking Heads and David Bowie to create a sehr kool album."
£14.06   Used & New from: £1.48
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (27 customer reviews)

Fever To Tell
16.  Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The list author says:
  "Raw, garage art-rock that can both scream and shout (Rich) and be sensitive (Maps). Y Control is even quite dancey and amongst the hits that are well known are some diamonds."
£5.77   Used & New from: £0.67
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (29 customer reviews)

Loveless
17.  Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
The list author says:
  "A bit before my time, I discovered My Bloody Valentine a few months ago and this album drifts and swells, hiding its secrets behind walls of feedback and white noise for only the patient to find."
Used & New from: £5.42
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (95 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Lazer Guided Melodies
18.  Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
The list author says:
  "Slow, spacious - Spiritualized would sadly never make an album like this again. But with this album, they had created an album that could fill the universe if not take it over. Magnificent."
£5.38   Used & New from: £2.99
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (14 customer reviews)

The Eraser
19.  The Eraser by Thom Yorke
The list author says:
  "Restless, bleepy and grim, Thom Yorke's The Eraser has eclipsed Radiohead latest effort, become a brother for Kid A and a rival for OK Computer."
£6.19   Used & New from: £4.25
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (90 customer reviews)

Orchestra of Wolves
20.  Orchestra of Wolves by Gallows
The list author says:
  "Whatever happened to punk? I'm not sure but Gallows have brought it back to 2007 kicking and screaming. Orchestra Of Wolves spits at you, insults you and leaves you wanting more."

Deloused in the Comatorium
21.  Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
The list author says:
  "Despite being one of the most confusing albums ever made, The Mars Volta's self-indulgent debut album is astoundingly good - mixing their post-hardcore background with prog, jazz and latin. Bizarre!"
£4.99   Used & New from: £0.99
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (63 customer reviews)

The Black Parade
22.  The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance
The list author says:
  "MCR's latest effort detailed MCR living up to their potential mixing a story of Death with elements of Queen, Gogol Bordello and good, old MCR"
£5.47   Used & New from: £1.01
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (147 customer reviews)

Black Holes And Revelations
23.  Black Holes And Revelations by Muse
The list author says:
  "It's difficult to choose between this album and Absolution. Both are enigmatic affairs detailing the end of the world and teaching other rock bands how to play their instruments."
£6.99   Used & New from: £0.32
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (274 customer reviews)

Dookie (U.S. Version)
24.  Dookie (U.S. Version) by Green Day
The list author says:
  "Where it all began. Where Green Day entered the mainstream and turned from bog-standard California punk-rockers into heroes in waiting."
£3.99   Used & New from: £0.27
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (93 customer reviews)

Siamese Dream
25.  Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins
The list author says:
  "And back to where I began with Smashing Pumpkins. Siamese Dream is the definitive grunge album (more so than Nevermind) through Corgan's whine, Iha's guitar heroics and Chamberlain's immense drumming."
£15.82   Used & New from: £3.22
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (81 customer reviews)
