Oh and I almost forgot! Is the Y Can't Tori Read album actually good then? I assumed it would be dreadful and have never investigated into anything from it - although at that price tag, I don't think I will be doing! Well I got it bootleg style. It's very good 80s pop - think Pat Benatar etc with Tori's unique style. She slates it all the time but that's because she wasn't being real to herself I guess.

Coldplay and Madonna- both top albums. It's nice to see a good variety of genres in your collection and list. ;D

That Faithless album is always one that I meant to get but never bothered with. I did get 'No Roots' and thought it was ok, quite Massive Attack like in places. Madge's 'Ray Of Light' is a good album but I've gone off it somewhat in the past year or so - she may well find herself with no albums in my top 100 at this rate. She's going to be devestated.

Sorry - just been really busy with work and when I'm posting it's more recreational. I'll try and do a massive chunk in the next few days, I'll do no.s 65-41 by Monday latest promise. Filthy liar Anyway, I have the following: 97 REM - Automatic for the People 96 Massive Attack – Mezzanine 95 Joy Division – Closer 88 Garbage - Beautiful Garbage 79 Air - Moon Safari 77 Blur – Parklife They're all ace. I'm slightly appalled I own so few actually. There's many there on my to do list, but then that's quite an extensive list

65 Soul II Soul - Club Classics vol 1 1989, #1 Top tracks: Keep on Movin', Fairplay, Jazzi's Groove Although this album has the no.1 smash Back to Life it's in such a different form to the single it's untrue. This album is rather uncommercial but I loved it when I was younger. ;D

64 Travis - The Man Who1999, #1 Top 3 tracks: Blue Flashing Light (hidden track), Turn, As You Are Not a weak track on this album and full of moving, emotional songs. Keep the CD running for the amazing 'hidden' track when you listen to it.

63 Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine2005, did not make top 40 Top 3 tracks: Not About Love (Brion), Better Version of Me (Elizondo), Extraordinary Machine I'm cheating a bit here as this album was leaked using Brion as producer which was all very gothy and weird and wonderful. However, she dumped it at the last second and re-recorded a more 'normal' sounding one with Elizondo. Both versions of their album have their strengths and it's the combination of the two that make this album fairly high in my list.

62 Pink Floyd - The Division Bell1994, #1 Top 3 tracks: High Hopes, Coming Back to Life, Lost for Words This is the last proper Pink Floyd studio album and is a bit of a triumph. David Gilmour's guitar sounds really beautiful - especially on the instrumentals. And lyrically it is strong as communication and relations with others are looked at through more mature eyes. I love the cover too!

61 Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here1975, #1 Top 3 tracks: Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Welcome to the Machine, Have a Cigar Promise that there's only one more Floyd album later (MUCH higher though)! This is one of their best with many fans saying it's better than DSOTM - I certainly agree with that. Inspired by Syd Barrett's breakdown and the fakeness of the music industry this is a great experimental but emotional album.

60 David Bowie - Hunky Dory1972, #3 Top 3 tracks: Changes, Life on Mars, Oh! You Pretty Things I must admit I haven't got into Bowie as much as I should and have many unlistened to albums in my collection but this one is absolutely classic. Such breathtakingly fine pop songs - there's no-one like him nowadays.

59 Radiohead - Amnesiac2001, #1 Top 3 tracks: Pyramid Song, I Might Be Wrong, Life in a Glasshouse Leftover albums tend to be a bit crap but if the main dish is Kid A then you get some amazing stuff. Just completely unpredictable throughout but breathtaking in many areas. However, you must check out the Live version of Spinning Plates (on their I Might Be Wrong album)

58 Garbage - Garbage1995, #6 Top 3 tracks: Vow, My Lover's Box, Stupid Girl As Grace from BB would say this album is 'Fierce'. So much energy and so damn catchy. The tracks do not sound at all dated now.
