Friend Or Foe?
4.  Friend Or Foe? by Blackmail

Journal for Plague Lovers
7.  Journal for Plague Lovers by Manic Street Preachers

High Society
9.  High Society by Enon
The list author says:
  "As if the Pixies had added some synths and gone pop. Loud, quiet, soft, hard, but always overdriven and tongue-in-cheek. Great tunes."

You Can't Fight What You Can't See
10.  You Can't Fight What You Can't See by Girls Against Boys
The list author says:
  "Distorted post-punk/noise with dance influences that lend a jagged edge to go with the aura of menace and ennui emanating from the lyrics. Proper tunes!"

Motherfuckers Be Trippin'
12.  Motherfuckers Be Trippin' by Supersuckers
The list author says:
  "Lemmy said "If you don't like the Supersuckers, you don't like rock 'n' roll." Spot-on, Lemster. Loud, fast, vulgar, riff-laden tales of adolescent excess, sort of Ramones meet Thin Lizzy."

Group Sounds
13.  Group Sounds by Rocket From The Crypt

Wiretap Scars

Obliterati
15.  Obliterati by Mission Of Burma
The list author says:
  "Old 'uns who I missed the first time around, but time hasn't weathered them. Here, they dish up dense, jagged post-punk that recalls Fugazi."

The Argument
16.  The Argument by Fugazi
The list author says:
  "Talking of who ... The tension and the jaggedness are still there on this, their last record, but there's variety, subtlety and a hint of pop here. No two songs are alike. Result!"

United by Fate
17.  United by Fate by Rival Schools
The list author says:
  "Huge guitars but no ugliness, just excellent tunes in a post-punk style that makes the occasional nod to '90s grunge. The riffs are a strange, interesting, 'shape'."

ALPINE STATIC
18.  ALPINE STATIC by Kinski
The list author says:
  "Where the cerebrality of post-rock meets the viscerality of Sabbath. It shouldn't work but it does. Ideal for those who wish Sonic Youth would 'give it  some elbow grease'."

Jupiter: Limited Edition
19.  Jupiter: Limited Edition by Cave-In
The list author says:
  "Spacey neo-prog for the hardcore generation. You're in the right place if you wish Radiohead would put the boot in a bit more. Beautiful stuff."

Lucky 7

Hot (-) Fast (+) Union
21.  Hot (-) Fast (+) Union by Bluetip
The list author says:
  "The most elegant and tuneful of post-hardcore records, though there's no lack of energy or angularity. Brains and brawn in perfect balance."

Cybertropic Chilango Power
22.  Cybertropic Chilango Power by Los De Abajo
The list author says:
  "And now for something completely different! Well, not entirely, because they throw rap and a Specials influence into the mix, along with their native Mexican cumbia and mariachi. It's an aural riot."
Used & New from: £1.98
