A Listmania! list by "bennyboy4242"
 
Double Nickels on the Dime
1.  Double Nickels on the Dime by Minutemen
The list author says:
  "A must-own for everyone, speed-punk at its finest, probably the most influential band to ever strum a chord, and still they remain as unknowns. Think Dylan style-lyrics with hendrix-style riffs"

4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (13 customer reviews)

Fantastic Planet
2.  Fantastic Planet by Failure

Virtuoso Vol.1
4.  Virtuoso Vol.1 by Joe Pass
The list author says:

Suffer
5.  Suffer by Bad Religion
The list author says:
  "The Punk Bible, this album is like the old testament. Influenced more bands than you can poke a stick out. Loud, fast highly charged n angry political punk music"
£10.20   Used & New from: £5.37
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Five Leaves Left
6.  Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
The list author says:
  "The first of Drake's 3 albums, soothing, haunting folky melodies with the most unique style of guitar playing you'll probably ever hear. If only he'd lived longer than he did."

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (66 customer reviews)

Blue Valentine
7.  Blue Valentine by Tom Waits
The list author says:

£3.99   Used & New from: £2.19
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (17 customer reviews)

Trout Mask Replica
8.  Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
