The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
2.  The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway by Genesis

A Trick Of The Tail
3.  A Trick Of The Tail by Genesis
The list author says:
  "The first post-Gabriel LP and an absolute masterpiece. Collins is a right duffer nowadays, but here he was never better - and Ripples (a song about growing old) is truly moving."

Stop Making Sense: Special New Edition
6.  Stop Making Sense: Special New Edition by Talking Heads
The list author says:
  "Great live set from the ultra talented Heads. This is essentially a live best of. What's with David's oversize suit? No idea - but who cares? The DVD is good too."

Hejira
7.  Hejira by Joni Mitchell
The list author says:
  "Yes I know Hissing of Summer Lawns is a classic, but Hejira just squeaks it for me. Themed around the loneliness of solo travel, Joni never made a better record. The late Jaco Pastorius on bass is fab"
£5.57   Used & New from: £2.04
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (46 customer reviews)

Weezer

Recurring Dream: the Very Best of Crowded House
9.  Recurring Dream: the Very Best of Crowded House by Crowded House
The list author says:
  "Apart from the All Blacks, the best thing to come out of New Zealand. Beatle-esque at times but Neil Finn is a truly great talent."
£9.98   Used & New from: £0.01

First Flight
10.  First Flight by Physics

The Bends
11.  The Bends by Radiohead

Parallel Lines: Remastered
15.  Parallel Lines: Remastered by Blondie
The list author says:
  "Debbie was the centre of my universe when I was 18. Starts with her screaming I'M IN THE PHONE BOOTH IT'S THE ONE ACROSS THE HALL and doesn't let up. Just brilliant."

The Kick Inside
16.  The Kick Inside by Kate Bush
The list author says:

Hed Kandi Summer 2004
18.  Hed Kandi Summer 2004 by Hed Kandi
The list author says:
  "Love Hed Kandi - never thought modern dance music could be this good - or so uplifting. 3CDs superbly mixed by former HK supremo Mark Doyle. I'm also in love with the Kandi girl on the cover!"

Stereo Sushi Vol.7: Teriyaki
19.  Stereo Sushi Vol.7: Teriyaki by Various Artists
The list author says:
  "Feel-good Hed Kandi spin-off label. Teriyaki - no.7 in the series- adds a splash of disco house (some great Joey Negro tracks)  + doesn't have a single duff track on a remarkably consistent double CD."
£25.96   Used & New from: £11.16

Remote Control
21.  Remote Control by The Tubes
The list author says:
  "A classic album from the never-appreciated San Fran shock-rockers . A brilliant, pointed indictment of US TV culture. Great cover too!"

22.  Close To The Edge [Expanded & Remastered] (Us Release) by Yes

Ram
24.  Ram by Paul McCartney
The list author says:
  "He'd fallen out big style with Lennon and came up with this brilliant, barbed musical indictment. VERY raw - recorded by Mr and Mrs M in their living room and its all the better for it."
Used & New from: £6.97

Moonflower
25.  Moonflower by Santana
The list author says:
  "A superb mix of studio and live cuts. Carlos at his jawdropping best with Greg Walker's silky vocals and Tom Coster's virtuoso keyboards. The live version of Dance Sister Dance is simply breathtaking."
