1. The Bends : Radiohead<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/h4>\n

Radiohead’s Brit Pop<\/strong> album tops it for me. Every song is a masterpiece and definitely easier to consume than ‘Ok Computer’<\/em>. Seeing them perform ‘Street Spirit (Fade Out)’ <\/em>live is a definite highlight for me.<\/p>\n

2. Definitely Maybe : Oasis<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/h4>\n

Raw and revolutionary. The album that initiated my favourite era of music Brit Pop<\/strong>. Lyrically loose but it doesn’t matter as the tunes hold their own. Play it, play it loud!<\/p>\n

3. Nevermind : Nirvana<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/h4>\n

This album was on constant loop at university despite it having been around for ages. Heavy angst music at it’s finest. Kurt Cobain’s<\/strong> voice to this day is one the most iconic. Listen to ‘Where Did You Sleep Last Night’<\/em> on the MTV<\/strong> live album to hear what it can do<\/p>\n

4. The Sun Is Often Out : Longpigs<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/h4>\n

A really interesting Brit Pop<\/strong> album that experimented all the way. ‘On and On’<\/em> is simply beautiful and is down as one of my funeral songs.<\/p>\n

5. Peaceful The World Lays Me Down : Noah And The Whale<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/h4>\n

This may seem an odd choice but I don’t care. This album always makes me smile when I listen to it. A perfect happy summer album. ‘Rocks And Daggers’<\/em> ending is tremendous<\/p>\n

6. Abbey Road : The Beatles<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/h4>\n

So many great Beatle’s<\/strong> album but this one just edges it. I absolutely love the 6 song medley at the end. It must have been a risk at the time but it paid off. Simply awesome!<\/p>\n

7. Parklife : Blur<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/h4>\n

This came out long before Damon Albarn<\/strong> disappeared up his own arse. This album has iconic tunes such as ‘Park Life’<\/em>, ‘This Is A Low’<\/em> and ‘Girls And Boys’<\/em>. This was the Essex answer to Oasis<\/strong>, not even close but not a bad attempt.<\/p>\n

8. Youth And Young Manhood : Kings of Leon<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/h4>\n

Raw! This album made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. To this day I still can’t determine what the hell he is singing about. Listen to ‘Joe’s Head’<\/em> loud for the hair thing<\/p>\n

9. Hats Off To The Buskers : The View<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/h4>\n

An awesome collection of rocky pop songs. This album had the ability to cheer me up regardless of my mood. ‘Skag Trendy’<\/em> is my favourite on the album so please please please give this tune a go!<\/p>\n

10. White Blood Cells : The White Stripes<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/h4>\n

What no bass player? A girl drummer? It all culminated in a unique sound, a unique sound I love. This is probably their finest album with a good mix of upbeat and chilled out tunes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
