Stunt
1.  Stunt by Barenaked Ladies

£5.47   Used & New from: £0.01
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (31 customer reviews)

X&Y
2.  X&Y by Coldplay
The list author says:
  "FIX YOU: Delicate tear jerker that legend has it was written for Gwyneth when her Dad died although I’ve since read that Chris Martin denied this. Either way it's lumpy throat time if you’re emotional"

3.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (459 customer reviews)

Jagged Little Pill
3.  Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette

4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (75 customer reviews)

Aqualung
4.  Aqualung by Aqualung

£4.61   Used & New from: £0.01
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (29 customer reviews)

5.  (What's the Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis
The list author says:
  "CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVA: Belter of an anthem, forget Wonderwall, this will be the one that people sing when the Gallagher’s jack it in. How this could come from two Manchester scallys is quite astonishing"

4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (158 customer reviews) | 3 customer discussions

No Need To Argue
6.  No Need To Argue by The Cranberries

God Shuffled His Feet
7.  God Shuffled His Feet by Crash Test Dummies

£3.99   Used & New from: £0.16
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (23 customer reviews)

O
8.  O by Damien Rice

4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (201 customer reviews)

Let's Dance: Remastered
9.  Let's Dance: Remastered by David Bowie
The list author says:
  "LETS DANCE: Put on your red shoes and lets dance the blues…foot tapper from the odd colour eyed Rebel Rebel. To be honest could’ve been The Man Who Sold the World on a flip of a coin."
£4.17   Used & New from: £1.97
3.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (29 customer reviews)

The Final Countdown
10.  The Final Countdown by Europe

Lynyrd Skynyrd
11.  Lynyrd Skynyrd by Lynyrd Skynyrd
The list author says:
  "FREEBIRD: Absolute rip-snorter of a rock mega-song. Has the best guitar solo screamer ever and literally goes on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever... but I wouldn’t have it any other way!"

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

Reverence/Irreverence
12.  Reverence/Irreverence by Faithless

Do It Yourself
14.  Do It Yourself by Seahorses
The list author says:

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

Get Born [EXTRA TRACK]
15.  Get Born [EXTRA TRACK] by Jet

4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (20 customer reviews)

Around the World in a Day
16.  Around the World in a Day by Prince
The list author says:
  "RASPBERRY BERET: Über cool song from the purple four footer. Wonder if Mr Magee really did exist, and whether Prince did infact work in a five ‘n’ dime? If not, how did he write such bizarre songs?"
£3.99   Used & New from: £1.04
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews)

A Night at the Opera
17.  A Night at the Opera by Queen

Used & New from: £1.30
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (22 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Blood Sugar Sex Magik (U.S. Version)
18.  Blood Sugar Sex Magik (U.S. Version) by Red Hot Chili Peppers

£5.28   Used & New from: £1.00
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (91 customer reviews)

I've Been Expecting You
19.  I've Been Expecting You by Robbie Williams
The list author says:
  "JESUS IN A CAMPER VAN: One of those ‘funny songs’ that is deeper than you think. Would’ve netted him a No1 if he was only allowed to keep it. Only on early album releases, became ‘It's Only Us’"
£2.98   Used & New from: £0.01
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (25 customer reviews)

Absolutely Live
20.  Absolutely Live by Rod Stewart

Music From Vanilla Sky
21.  Music From Vanilla Sky by Vanilla Sky Soundtrack

4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (17 customer reviews)

Final Straw
23.  Final Straw by Snow Patrol

4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (133 customer reviews)

No Jacket Required
25.  No Jacket Required by Phil Collins
The list author says:
