Foreigner
3.  Foreigner by Yusuf/Cat Stevens

Space Ritual Alive In London
6.  Space Ritual Alive In London by Hawkwind
The list author says:
  "Best Live record EVER. This and Van Morrison's "It's too late to stop now" are the only really good ones ever made. Precursor to Heavy Metal but in a hippy, freaked out way."

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (52 customer reviews)

Dummy
9.  Dummy by Portishead

£6.99   Used & New from: £0.12
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (43 customer reviews)

The Psychedelic Furs
10.  The Psychedelic Furs by The Psychedelic Furs

The Psychomodo
11.  The Psychomodo by Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel

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

Talking Heads 77
12.  Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Creedence Clearwater Revival (20 Bit Mastering)

Acquiring the Taste
14.  Acquiring the Taste by Gentle Giant
The list author says:
  "Forgotten by everybody, but me! Three Friends, Octopus, Free Hand and In A Glass House could all be in this list. Gentle Giant are a serious candidate to the title of Best Band Ever."
£8.09   Used & New from: £3.63
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

Pampered Menial
15.  Pampered Menial by Pavlov's Dog
The list author says:
  "Mid 70's symphonic to the extreme. Is he a castrati, or what? Sounds great, anyway. Second record is fine but not as good and the rest are best forgotten."
Used & New from: £8.99
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (14 customer reviews)

4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

O Espirito da Paz
18.  O Espirito da Paz by Madredeus
The list author says:
  "Well, I'm portuguese. Had to include something from Portugal and there wasn't much to choose from in Amazon...No, honestly, this is GOOD. Extremely moody or boring, depending on your perspective."

4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Wildflowers
19.  Wildflowers by Connie Price & the Keystones

The Age Of Understatement
20.  The Age Of Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
The list author says:
  "Just to prove that standard pop can sometimes be brilliant..."

3.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (44 customer reviews)

Emergent
21.  Emergent by Gordian Knot

Byron: Bug Music
22.  Byron: Bug Music by Don Byron

4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Snow Borne Sorrow
23.  Snow Borne Sorrow by Nine Horses

The Budos Band II
24.  The Budos Band II by The Budos Band

Marquee Moon (Expanded And Remastered) (Us Release)
25.  Marquee Moon (Expanded And Remastered) (Us Release) by Television
