i think everone should have a copy of Jimmy Eat Worlds self titled album (known as Bleed American in the US) and probably Master Of Puppets - Metallica and finally Wish You were Here - Pink Floyd so under rated its almost sad!

I think everyone should own Tilt by Scott Walker.

Ryan Adams' Heartbreaker.

Primal Screams 'Xtmntr' or Marvin Gaye's 'What's going on?'

Here are 25 albums no one should be without, I feel (in no particular order):

1.Marquee Moon, Television
2.The Band, The Band
3.New York Dolls, New York Dolls
4.In a Silent Way, Miles Davis
5.The Glasgow School, Orange Juice
6.Searching for the Young Soul Rebels, Dexy’s Midnight Runners
7.Maxinquaye, Tricky
8.Rum Sodomy & the Lash, The Pogues
9.Spirit of Eden, Talk Talk
10.Let It Be, The Replacements
11.Younger Than Yesterday, The Byrds
12.The Gilded Palace of Sin, The Flying Burrito Brothers
13.Heart of the Congos, The Congos
14.Nuggets, Various Artists
15.In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, Neutral Milk Hotel
16.Paul’s Boutique, The Beastie Boys
17.Sign ‘O’ the Times, Prince
18.Hot Buttered Soul, Isaac Hayes
19.Forever Changes, Love
20.Remain in Light, Talking Heads
21.Loveless, My Bloody Valentine
22.Metal Box, PIL
23.Wee Small Hours, Frank Sinatra
24.Faust IV, Faust
25.Accelerator, Royal Trux

Am sure I could name another 250…

Bowie's Ziggy...

I'd recommend Replicas by Tubeway Army too-way ahead of it's time.

I'm sure you could too!

I bought that Neutral Milk Hotel album the other day. It's excellent.

I'm trying to think off the top of my head...

The Cranberries - No Need to Argue
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisted
Sleater-Kinney - The Woods
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
Throwing Muses - University
PJ Harvey - Dry
Regina Spektor - Soviet Kitsch

I'm not really one for big lists. So I'll just leave it at that. They're by no means all my favourite albums. They're just albums that I can think of at this moment.

You missed out Can-Tago Mago and
John Cale-Paris 1919
Apart from that good list.

Well there are lots to choose from - I love Tago Mago, though not sure everyone will make it through Aumgn/Peking O - I'd probably pick Ege Bamyasi or Future Days. Paris 1919 is definitely one. Perhaps I should have picked 100???

guns & roses - greatest hits
oasis - (whats the story) morning glory
lostprophets - liberation transmission

I think everyone should own, if not listen, to FUGEES' album THE SCORE

expensive sh*t by fela kuti

Damien Rice

Five more:

*Crocodiles, Echo & the Bunnymen
*You're Living All Over Me, Dinosaur Jr
*Dog Man Star, Suede
*Boomania, Betty Boo
*My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, Eno/Byrne

Damn, you beat me to it!
In Cousin Teresa's absence, I just came in here to suggest the same.

Since Arthur Lees recent death I would say:

Love - Forever Changes

Not only the greatest album ever made (In my opinion) but one of the most overlooked albums ever made.

Sad to hear of his death.

The Clash 'London Calling'. Never thought I would get into it, really am impressed by it. Such a good album!

Unplugged by Eric Clapton!
