Am sitting on a decent whack of Amazon vouchers, fancy buying some music. This is the section of £5 or under CDs.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some stuff that I really should have in my collection?

[Jimmy]

Don't know if you've already got some of these, but I'm a big fan of the following on there. I'd assume you'd have the first Arctic Monkeys album (if not, buy that).

Given To The Wild by The Maccabees

What Have You Heard About The Vaccines by The Vaccines

I Speak Because I Can by Laura Marling

[SRN]

Eschewing all the David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Simon & Garfunkel stuff which you should naturally check out, I compiled a little list off of what I saw on the first 125 pages. It includes albums I've listened to myself from artists that I like and I think you should check out if you want to expand your musical horizon. It has a little bit of everything, I think.

Robert Johnson - The Complete Recordings

Miles Davis - In A Silent Way

Seasick Steve - You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks

Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure

Captain Beefheart - Safe As Milk

PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love

Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come

The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium

Black Sabbath - Master of Reality

A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory

Sleigh Bells - Treats

Wolfmother - Wolfmother

The Cure - Seventeen Seconds

Tom Waits - Small Change

Soft Machine - The Soft Machine

Dave Brubeck - The Dave Brubeck Quartet At Carnegie Hall

Syd Barrett - Madcap Laughs

[Skummy]

The Very Best of Roy Orbison! It's a particularly good "Best Of", and he is wonderful.

Also good CDs on this list;

"Kind Of Blue" by Miles Davis

"Lady's Bridge" by Richard Hawley

"Hunky Dory" by David Bowie

And I can't be bothered reading any further than that.

[Liam]

Cheers for the suggestions so far guys.

Out of the suggestions, I already have The Mars Volta and Miles Davis 'Kind of Blue', but nothing else. Was going to pick up Roy Orbison already, Skum.

More suggestions welcome.

[SRN]

Honestly, I noticed that both "De-Loused in the Comatorium" and "Frances the Mute" are there, I suggest you get both. Even though "The Bedlam in Goliath" is my favorite.

[METALMAN]

Miles Davis - In A Silent Way

Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure

Captain Beefheart - Safe As Milk

Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come

A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory

Time Out by Dave Brubeck

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan

O Brother, Where Art Thou? by Various Artists

That Roy Orbison best of

The Very Best of Marvin Gaye by Marvin Gaye

Trojan Presents: Dub by Various Artists

Discography: the Complete Singles Collection by Pet Shop Boys

There's plenty of good ones I left off as well.

[SRN]

Get your own list, Androkles. :/ I already suggest half of those. :/

[METALMAN]

but that is good because a recommendation from two people is stronger than a recommendation from one!

[Liam]

Litany - Vader

The Very Best Of Roy Orbison - Roy Orbison

Lady's Bridge - Richard Hawley

For Your Pleasure - Roxy Music

Safe As Milk - Captain Beefheart & His Magic

Rumours - Fleetwood Mac

Good News For People Who Love Bad News - Modest Mouse

That is my order.

Oh, and already have both of those Mars Volta albums, so wouldn't have needed the other one either.

[SRN]

Vader's "Litany" is awesome. I even have a shirt of it!

[Liam]

Yeah, I looked first in death/doom/black, for any cheap metal I fancied. That was the sum of it really.

[Liam]

I love the Roxy Music album. Odd, but just awesome.
