Sort by: Rating | Release Date | Rating Date | Name5.0 classicRadiohead In RainbowsPretty much the best album by anyone this century. Sheer genius !The Gaslight Anthem The '59 Sound4.5 superbBruce Springsteen The RisingThis is easily one of Bruce's best albums (after Born To Run and Nebraska). Every single song is a classic from the lightweight Waiting On A Sunny Day to the intense Paradise (which tells the story of a young suicide bomber). Bruce Springsteen Wrecking BallThe Smiths The Queen Is Dead4.0 excellentAgainst Me! White CrossesI actually really liked this. Sure it's not that 'punk' but it sounds like a much better version of Green Day's 21st Century BreakdownAugustines Rise Ye Sunken ShipsReminds me of the National, I'm loving it so far.Manic Street Preachers Send Away The TigersAwesome album. I have had Imperial Bodybags stuck in my head for days nowShearwater Animal JoyThe Cure DisintegrationThe Gaslight Anthem Sink or SwimThe Hold Steady A Positive RageA really great live album. The production can occasionally be slightly poor but in my opinion this just helps it to have a raw, live feel instead of just being flawless runs through the songs. Craig Finn's stage banter at the start of Killer Parties is worth the price alone.3.5 greatBruce Springsteen Tunnel Of LoveGlasvegas GlasvegasCome on !!! Yeah the guy has a Glaswegian accent but nobody ever lays into the Sex Pistols for Johnny Rotten sounding cockney as hell. This album is full of well written catchy, emotional rock songs and it's great to hear an indie band not influenced by the Libertines and Strokes for once (although I love both those bands). The only letdown is the track stabbed which is so miserable it sounds like it's taking the piss. Apart from that you get the singalong anthems such as Flowers and Football Tops and Go Square Go and also the weirdly brilliant Ice Cream Van which is basically the singer over a emotive rising ambient keyboard .
