Bandwagonesque
1.  Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
The list author says:
  "Guitar pop doesn't get any better than this: Imagine if the Beach Boys grew up in Glasgow listening to Big Star and you'd still be way off!"
£3.87   Used & New from: £1.92
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews)

Funcrusher Plus
2.  Funcrusher Plus by Company Flow
The list author says:

Check Your Head
3.  Check Your Head by Beastie Boys

  "No other band could ever sound like the Beastie Boys. This record contains the most disparate grooves: rap, punk, funk, rock....name a style, you'll find it in here somewhere"
£8.89   Used & New from: £3.38
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

WHISKEY FOR THE HOLY
4.  WHISKEY FOR THE HOLY by Mark Lanegan

  "FACT: This is the most depressing record ever made. That doesn't detract from the beautiful brilliance of the songs on here though. A bleak masterpiece"
£7.37   Used & New from: £3.99
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Dr Octagon
5.  Dr Octagon by Dr. Octagon

Copper Blue
6.  Copper Blue by Sugar
The list author says:

The Cold Vein
7.  The Cold Vein by Cannibal Ox
The list author says:

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews)

Palace Brothers
8.  Palace Brothers by Will Oldham
The list author says:
  "Will Oldham was just not made for these times. With only an acoustic guitar, a cracked voice, and a unique vocabulary at his disposal,  Mr Oldham made he most basic but best Palace Brothers LP"
£7.99   Used & New from: £4.48
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Six Feet Deep [VINYL]
10.  Six Feet Deep [VINYL] by Gravediggaz
The list author says:

Used & New from: £39.99
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

Spiderland
11.  Spiderland by Slint

Used & New from: £5.34
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (25 customer reviews)

Pony Express Record
12.  Pony Express Record by Shudder To Think
The list author says:
  "Everyone should own at least one STT record. Imagine a choirboy fronting a rock band with punk/jazz/soul influences. Confused? You should be. Off-kilter music doesn't get any better than this"
Used & New from: £9.26
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Latyrx [VINYL]
13.  Latyrx [VINYL] by Latyrx
The list author says:
  "From the Solesides/Quannum crew, this Lateef and Lyrics Born collabo remains a West Coast B-Boy celebration. With funk in it's soul and a brain in it's head, this LP is an 'indie' hip hop classic"
Used & New from: £5.00

Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
14.  Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain by Pavement
The list author says:
  "Fractured pop at it's very finest. This was Steve Malkmus at his creative peak: inspired, obtuse, humourous and strangely affecting"

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

The Stone Roses

Stakes Is High
16.  Stakes Is High by De La Soul

£12.99   Used & New from: £1.98
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
17.  It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back by Public Enemy

£5.00   Used & New from: £3.49
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Sound Pieces Da Antidote
20.  Sound Pieces Da Antidote by Lootpack
