4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (112 customer reviews)

Metals
2.  Metals by Feist
The list author says:

All Is Dream

Fur and Gold
5.  Fur and Gold by Bat for Lashes
The list author says:
  "Natasha Khan's goth heart speaks obliquely and this fantastical journey is the result."
£3.79   Used & New from: £1.99
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (50 customer reviews)

Man Alive
6.  Man Alive by Everything Everything
The list author says:
  "The lead singer has a horrible falsetto which sadly he uses almost the whole time. But this album isn't easy to pigeon hole and it keeps me continually off balance in a good way. Adult lyrics."
£4.99   Used & New from: £3.70
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (50 customer reviews)

Kamakiriad
7.  Kamakiriad by Donald Fagen
The list author says:
  "A concept album about a rambling journey in a futuristic eco-vehicle which turns out to be an emotional journey too."

4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

Whatever and Ever Amen
8.  Whatever and Ever Amen by Ben Folds Five

4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (33 customer reviews)

The Fool
9.  The Fool by Warpaint
The list author says:
  "A slice of Mamas and Papas with a hint of a Sneaker Pimps. This album, and each track, takes a while to buzz (not the least on Bees) so give it all a chance."
£7.29   Used & New from: £4.78
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews)

Stories From the City Stories From the Sea
10.  Stories From the City Stories From the Sea by PJ Harvey

4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (50 customer reviews)

The Bachelor (Battle One)

£2.25   Used & New from: £0.73
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

Post
12.  Post by Björk
The list author says:
  "My favourite Björk album. Accessible (for Björk)."
£5.48   Used & New from: £0.01
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (20 customer reviews)

...And Then We Saw Land
13.  ...And Then We Saw Land by Tunng

3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Clandestino
14.  Clandestino by Manu Chao

Bari
15.  Bari by Ojos de Brujo
The list author says:
  "Fantastic flamenco fusion."
£10.99   Used & New from: £8.00
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

Midnite Vultures
16.  Midnite Vultures by Beck
The list author says:
  "Yes Odelay is ground-breaking but I find it stressful on some level. Midnite Vultures shows Beck relaxed and at peace with himself yet in an upbeat, party mood!"
£5.14   Used & New from: £0.29
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (31 customer reviews)

Sleeps With Angels
17.  Sleeps With Angels by Neil Young
The list author says:
  "To me the vibe's more akin to a progressive electronic album...except for the acoustic instruments (and the wandering 14 minute Young guitar-fest Change Your Mind)!"
£5.28   Used & New from: £0.09
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road
18.  Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams

4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (26 customer reviews)

Donkey
19.  Donkey by CSS
The list author says:
  "Their previous album Cansei de Ser Sexy has the amazing "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above" but this is a better album, I think. Adult lyrics."
Used & New from: £0.90
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)
