10) Queen - A Kind of Magic
11) Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman
12) Police - Reggatta de blanc
13) The Clash - London Calling

1.Word Gets Around- Stereophonics, my favourite band and still one of the best debut albums ever.

2.Performance and Cocktails - Stereophonics, last phonics album I'll put in cos I could get boring, but got some classic tunes on and gave us Bartender and the Thief, the best live song I've ever heard.

3.L.A Woman - The Doors, I was born two years after Jim Morrison died, but can remember hearing Light my fire when I was young and I was hooked, this album because it was their last studio album and is most probably their most bluesy ( if that's a word ) as well, he also epitamised the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle. When I got married in 2001 I took my wife to Paris on the pretense it was romantic, when I really only wanted to visit his grave, one of the best moments of my life, except our divorce afterwards

4. We'll live and die in these towns - The Enemy, saw them as a support band to Stereophonics and never seen a crowd react like they did, seen them a few times since, fantastic live and could listen to Away from here, over and over. If you get a chance listen to the new album, Streets in the sky.

5. Sunny Side Up - Paulo Nutini, could also have had These Streets. Just a fantastic voice, soulful and vibrant and great live, although he is usually pi$$ed

6. Do It Yourself - The Seahorses, although not a massive Stone Roses fan, I saw these live and loved them. John Squire and Chris Helme although only producing one album just did it for me, blinded by the sun and Love is the law, just quality. Still go to watch Chris Helme around York every now and again, to remember good times.

7. Crazy Love - Mickey Bubbles, everyone loves cheesy pop and this is mine.

8. Angels and Enemies - Sound of Guns, only got into them in the last six months, but what a cracking sound. Fooking great live with big anthemic tunes.

9. The Best of Suede - Suede, Just anything by Suede, the more the better. Brett Anderson

10. Baby I don't care - Transvision Vamp, Wendy James, my teenage crush, spent hours listening to them on my personal stereo !!!!! and hours looking at her posters

Hope it's not too boring, could most probably do 50 albums.

Special mentions to Shed Seven, Weller and The Jam, Simon and Garfunkel, The Stranglers, Free, Thin Lizzy, ELO, Squeeze, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Amy Winehouse, The Cure and many, many more

The only album that was 'leftovers' was be here now. The rest of the albums only got such a bad reception because they didn't live up to the first two but there still great albums
