13 Ways To Bleed On Stage
3.  13 Ways To Bleed On Stage by Cold
The list author says:
  "As much as I despair of nu-metal, I can't really argue with Cold. They're nu-metal, but they're not...they're very despairing, but they also sound surprisingly original. But extremely depressing."

August & Everything After
5.  August & Everything After by Counting Crows
The list author says:
  "CC make very rootsy America style southern pop-rock, which is undeniable. The lyrics are so childlike at times, but it just all seems so very complex. Their debut is a rainy day record."
£5.65   Used & New from: £0.48

Hard Candy
6.  Hard Candy by Counting Crows
The list author says:
  "Ok, the same as above, but this is their laterst offering and best album. They've cheered up considerably, and every track shines. Many different emotions throughout, and of course, 'Big Yellow Taxi'."
£5.36   Used & New from: £0.01

Human Clay
7.  Human Clay by Creed
The list author says:
  "I don't care what people say about them, Creed are the best post-grunge band there is. Thunderous guitars, powerful lyrics and some simply stunning songs. Top drawer hard rock."
Used & New from: £1.94

The Doors
8.  The Doors by The Doors

Five Leaves Left
9.  Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
The list author says:
  "This is fine, clean, simple folk from the late 60's and this young man had a lot of talent. Soaring strings, guitars, and great lyrics. And look...£6.66 again!"

No Name Face
10.  No Name Face by Lifehouse
The list author says:

Throwing Copper
11.  Throwing Copper by Live
The list author says:
  "There are many very good hard rock songs on this album, and one very tragic one; 'Lightning Crashes' makes this essential on its own."

Yourself Or Someone Like You
12.  Yourself Or Someone Like You by Matchbox Twenty
The list author says:
  "Matchbox 20 are another fine pop-rock band, if not one of the best. This, their debut is their finest hour, combining irresistable melodies, smooth vocals and tragic lyrics. '3am' is essential."

Metallica
13.  Metallica by Metallica
The list author says:
  "I don't care that they sold out, this is irresistable. Accesible musically, but still menacing and 'fist in the air' atmosperical as ever."

In Utero
14.  In Utero by Nirvana
The list author says:
  "Forget Nevermind. I did when I heard this. It's much darker and not as 'poppy' but it's so much better. I'd take 'Heart Shaped Box' over 'Smells Like...' anyday."
£5.19   Used & New from: £0.27

Damnation (Limited Edition Digipak)
15.  Damnation (Limited Edition Digipak) by Opeth
The list author says:
  "Opeth are normally the best black metal band out there, but they decided to chill out for this one. This is nearly totally acoustic, and its devastating. And essential."

Vulgar Display Of Power (Us Release)
16.  Vulgar Display Of Power (Us Release) by Pantera

Yield
17.  Yield by Pearl Jam

In Absentia (European Edition)
18.  In Absentia (European Edition) by Porcupine Tree
The list author says:
  "The latest album from these prog-rockers also happen to be their best. It's rockier, but it can be very somber. Steven Wilson is one of those un-sung geniuses..."

A Day at the Races
19.  A Day at the Races by Queen
The list author says:
  "Queen's finest album. They are the single greatest band to ever be gifted to Earth. This has great heavy metal, cool rockers, and swooning operatic ballads. Sure, it's camp, but it rocks."

Made In Heaven
20.  Made In Heaven by Queen
The list author says:
  "This, Queen's last album, is the most interesting listen. Finished 2 years after Freddie Mercury's death, it is a lot darker. But he still went out as he came in. A diva."

Rage Against The Machine
21.  Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
The list author says:
  "As much as its spiralled stupidly out of control, Rage started the rap-rock phenomenon, and even if you don't like it, this is very important. Original, and those Morello guitar solos are unbelieveabl"

God Hates Us All -Ltd.-
22.  God Hates Us All -Ltd.- by Slayer
The list author says:
  "This is the heaviest thing I have ever heard, Through its lack of melody and total uncompromising sound, Slayer are invinsible and just..rock. Essential thrash."

Lateralus
23.  Lateralus by Tool

24.  Automatic For The People (U.S. Version) by R.E.M.
