OK ComputerRadiohead
Radiohead for me are collectively, the perfect band, and this is for me as good as an album can be. The way it runs, from brilliance to more brilliance. The epic (Paranoid Android), to the beautiful (No Surprises), the perfect closer (The Tourist), the odd and otherwise unlistenable but fits but works perfectly within the context of the album (Fitter Happier). All together in a brilliantly-balanced work.

The Dark Side Of The MoonPink Floyd
A truly emotional journey of an album. The second side in particular, flows from song to song better than that of 'Abbey Road'. It has the perfect blend of ambience, magnificence, brilliant performances, thrilling climaxes, and understated excellence.

In RainbowsRadiohead
An album which can define Radiohead as such incredible musicians. It is amazing how they have always united to produce such contrasting but wonderful music. If you don't respect them as musicians, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57q2uFaMjNs

RIP Jeff. Without doubt the greatest singer-songwriter, and a truly remarkable musician. This album somehow manages to make me melt somewhat inside.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm NotArctic Monkeys
The one album to stand out from the oversaturation of British Indie from the Mid-Nineties, for a reason, and puts the bland, snore-fest rubbish from Humbug and Suck It And See to shame. It is difficult not to be excited by their energy and talent.

Wish You Were HerePink Floyd
Pink Floyd's favourite Pink Floyd album. I can't help but agree with them, as for me this is a one of the most-accomplished works I've encountered. Shine On You Crazy Diamond (both of them) is on its own, an incredible piece and really great topping and tailing the album, and features Gilmour at his absolute best in my opinion. Together with the superb songs sandwiched by 'Shine On..', a masterpiece.

People say Morrisey's lyrics are depressing. They're bloody hilarious! Coupled with Marr's genius, excellent. This album just makes me really, really happy.
