Pet Sounds
1.  Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (88 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Technique
2.  Technique by New Order

Closer

Leftism
7.  Leftism by Leftfield
The list author says:
  "A phenomenal album that's as unique now as it was in '95. You probably know all the trax without knowing it, from incidental snippets used in Big Brother to numerous movies. A Different gravy."

Mezzanine: Limited Edition

4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (57 customer reviews)

In Utero
9.  In Utero by Nirvana

4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (79 customer reviews)

A Rush of Blood to the Head
10.  A Rush of Blood to the Head by Coldplay

4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (207 customer reviews)

Orbital
11.  Orbital by Orbital

4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (38 customer reviews)

OK Computer
16.  OK Computer by Radiohead

Computer World

Airdrawndagger
20.  Airdrawndagger by Sasha

Everything Must Go
22.  Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers

Rubber Soul
24.  Rubber Soul by The Beatles

Snivilisation
25.  Snivilisation by Orbital
