What 10 Albums Should I get?

[elster]

Well if you were given £100 of iTunes vouchers what would be the 10 albums that you would recommend to get.

These can be old or new albums, just have a budget of £100 so about 10-12 albums.

What would you recommend getting?

You'll have to narrow that down a bit to specific genres, otherwise 10 isn't enough.

Why pick a genre? I listen to all music.

So if you had £100 and no music collection. What would be the first ones you wanted?

Thats just stupid - how would the Ethiopians ever be pasty enough to pass as Goths?

Well, last week I bought an album from itunes that i'd not heard for absolutely ages..

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome To The Pleasuredome


A classic.

[130R]

Hot Fuss by The Killers is a brilliant album

[TheEnd]

Something by Röyksopp, Melody AM, but any of them are good.
Rosenrot from Rammstein, German rock stuff
Music for the Jilted Generation- The Prodigy
Leftfield- Leftism
Lady Sovereign - Public warning- always makes me smile!
Duran Duran- Greatest hits - Them were the days
Daft Punk - Homework
I'll recommend Ima from BT again, but he's got quite a few other good ones
Blur - Parklife - haven't heard many of them played for ages
final pick, try some famous classics, maybe Holst's planet suites just to round things off

[Harpo]

Misplaced Childhood

'The Understanding' is a superb album, and not as cartoony as melody AM, plus it has the utterly SUPERB track 'What else is there'
