Ten albums to that will leave you changed forever.

A Listmania! list by Toby Dammit "sixteenstringjack" (London)
 
High Lonesome Sound
1.  High Lonesome Sound by Roscoe Holcomb
The list author says:
  "Spine-chilling and eerie sound of the back-woods. Holcombe's voice is laden with wisdom, lonliness and sorrow, nobly borne."

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Under Milk Wood
2.  Under Milk Wood by Stan Tracey
The list author says:
  "Buy this for the track, Starless and Bible Black. The definition of rain-soaked melancholy jazz. Incredible."
Used & New from: £30.00
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Fauré: Requiem
3.  Fauré: Requiem by Nicholas Gedge
The list author says:
  "I'm no big classical buff but this one does it for me. The Sanctus can drag me out of the blackest despair."
£4.74   Used & New from: £0.28
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Viking of Sixth Avenue
4.  Viking of Sixth Avenue by Moondog
The list author says:
  "Hobo prophet in a Viking Helmet, street poet, Moondog's music is unlike any other. Imagine letting loose a gang of eccentric child prodigies in a musical instrument museum."
Used & New from: £7.02

Music for Glass Harmonica
5.  Music for Glass Harmonica by Bloch et al
The list author says:
  "A now defunct instrument that works on the principal of playing glasses of water. Dream-like, spooky and makes you feel like a kid again."
£5.54   Used & New from: £4.15
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

Marquee Moon
6.  Marquee Moon by Television
The list author says:
  "Arty, intelligent, faultles, debut from punk forefathers. Incredible lyrics. Desperate and uplifting, a bright diamond created out of the grime and dinge of 1970s downtown New York."
£3.49   Used & New from: £1.80
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (29 customer reviews)

Flowers of Romance
7.  Flowers of Romance by Public Image Limited
The list author says:
  "Underated album. Lydon is so intense I find I can only play it once in a blue moon, for fear of having a cardiac infarction."
Used & New from: £9.89
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

The Great Caruso [IMPORT]
8.  The Great Caruso [IMPORT] by Ruggiero Leoncavallo
The list author says:
  "Old, crackly, and heart-breakingly moving. Caruso sings every note as if on the verge of tears. Pour yourself a stiff drink and lose yourself."
Used & New from: £3.94

Nosferatu
9.  Nosferatu by Popol Vuh
The list author says:
  "At times dark and unsettling, at others, like being cradled by angels. It's minimal, spiritual and deeply introspective. I once heard it at night at the foot of a desolate mountain full of scotch."
£12.72   Used & New from: £7.61
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

First Album
10.  First Album by Suicide
The list author says:
  "A junkie Elvis spitting venom and bile over latin drum beats and searing electro organ stabs. Terrifying and intense sound of seedy urban rage from punk era New York."
Used & New from: £12.95
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)
