Billion Dollar...-2 CD-
7.  Billion Dollar...-2 CD- by Alice Cooper
The list author says:

The Velvet Underground and Nico
8.  The Velvet Underground and Nico by Velvet Underground

Viva! Roxy Music
9.  Viva! Roxy Music by Roxy Music
The list author says:
  "'In every dream home a heartache........' A live LP that was panned at the time by the critics (as if we cared..). Roxy sound nervy and edgy and distinctly out of step with the time."
£5.40   Used & New from: £3.79

Roger the Engineer
10.  Roger the Engineer by Yardbirds
The list author says:
  "Again, not the LP I had at the time (that was a bootleg copy of the Anderson Theatre gig that ultimately some hippy b*stard sat on) but this CD is probably their best unless you want all their hits."

The Slider: Remastered
11.  The Slider: Remastered by Marc Bolan & T Rex
The list author says:
  "This is the one that won us all over. Never had 'cork-screw hair' been sooo cool, it was enough to own this for the cover alone, or so I was told. Personally, I prefered the music."

Killer
12.  Killer by Alice Cooper

Aladdin Sane: Remastered
13.  Aladdin Sane: Remastered by David Bowie
The list author says:

Alive
14.  Alive by Kiss
The list author says:
  "aaarrghhhh....... ok, ok......I admit it, I was bored and in a moment of uninspired madness I bought this because it was a budget release and Kiss were being hyped beyond belief. Black Diamond is OK."

Rush - All The World's A Stage
15.  Rush - All The World's A Stage by Rush
The list author says:
  "aaarrghhhh part two. Actually, this was nowhere as bad as the kiss LP. I quite liked the sci-fi stuff although the vocals got on my wick after a while. They really loved those live LP's in the 70's."

Born to Be Burned
17.  Born to Be Burned by Great Society

Runaways
18.  Runaways by The Runaways
The list author says:
  "The cover features the lovely Cherie Currie but you can't see that because Amazon don't have it on their file. But you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover (or indeed, a LP). Teen grrrls with guitars."

School'S Out
19.  School'S Out by Alice Cooper
The list author says:
  "The Alice Cooper LP that everyone owned. Not their best but better than the opposition. The CD re-release won't fold out into a mock desk and didn't come with the paper panties either."

Metallic Ko
20.  Metallic Ko by Iggy & The Stooges
The list author says:
  "My introduction and induction into the world of The Stooges. My original Skydog Lp was claustrophobic and chaotic, this 2CD release enhances those feelings. Utterly vital... you must own this cd."

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
21.  The Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd
The list author says:
  "To quote Bowie from the Pin-Ups LP, this is 'Syds Pink Floyd' and therefore the only Floyd LP you'll ever need to listen to. No singles, but you can get those on a 6track EP to complete the set."

23.   by King Crimson
The list author says:
  "21st Century Schizoid Man...... looks flat in writing doesn't it?... but check out the raw sound on this cheapo release from a band who never sounded the same two nights in a row. Raw and spiteful."

Space Ritual Alive In London
24.  Space Ritual Alive In London by Hawkwind
The list author says:
  "No home should be without a Hawkwind. This is good, but in 1976 I thought Warrior On The Edge Of Time better, but good ol' Amazon haven't got that one, so make do with this."

All the Young Dudes
25.  All the Young Dudes by Mott the Hoople
The list author says:
  "Ian Hunter was the nearest we had at the time to a true 'working class hero'. He seemed totally unaffected by fame and made you feel that anyone could do what he was doing. Very 'punk' that......"
