I realised that basically you could do two types of list – one with those albums you worshiped most at the time and couldn’t stop playing, and one with those that you still love today and prove to have shaped how you think and feel about music. As I guess no-one including me is interested in what I thought five years ago, this list is what I think is greatest after all has been and gone in the last decade…..therefore no Hundred Reasons….!
1. Queens of the Stone Age – Rated R
2. Subtle – For Hero: For Fool
3. Meet Me in St. Louis – Variations on Swing
4. Radiohead – Hail to the Thief
5. Shadow Dancer – Golden Traxe
