Pretty Hate Machine
1.  Pretty Hate Machine by Nine Inch Nails
The list author says:
  "Where did George Michael steal the idea for 'Freeek' from? Don't worry, he's not the only copycat, take a host of the 'new musicians' and you'll see that borrowing the themes/sounds of PHM is a trend"

4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (28 customer reviews)

Replicas
3.  Replicas by Gary Numan
The list author says:
  "Not only cashing in on one of the original princes of glooms songs - Gary Numan's 'Are Friends Electric', the Sugar Babies go for broke and highjack vampire images for their video! Boring..."
£7.69   Used & New from: £4.93
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)

Ill Be Missing You

Remission
7.  Remission by Skinny Puppy
The list author says:
  "They should have been huge but, instead, the likes of Marilyn Manson, Slip Knot and Korn stole the idea, marketed it and ran for the gold. A bit like Apple computers, better but lacking the marketing"

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

Whaler
8.  Whaler by Sophie B. Hawkins
