My Idols in Music, in no order

A Listmania! list by Camilla Semoh "Retro Fan" (ATV London)
 
The Sound Of Fury
1.  The Sound Of Fury by Billy Fury
The list author says:

£5.77   Used & New from: £3.72
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Kill Uncle
2.  Kill Uncle by Morrissey
The list author says:
  "Often described as one of Mozzer's weaker albums, but I have never understood why. A wonderfully understated collection for the bitter and repressed among us. Top marks!"

3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (17 customer reviews)

The Collection
3.  The Collection by Matt Monro

It's Not Just Sentimental
4.  It's Not Just Sentimental by Otis Redding
The list author says:
  "The true Godfather of Soul - no question. This album has some rarities and lesser known versions of Redding's tracks. Note his change of direction on 'The Boston Monkey': up-tempo and shouty!"

3.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

Gone
5.  Gone by Dwight Yoakam
The list author says:

Choices: the Singles Connection
7.  Choices: the Singles Connection by Blow Monkeys
