Evan Dando and the gang created the best guitar-pop album of the year 1992. Every song on this (wonderfully short!) album is foot-tappingly great - Confetti, Frank Mills, Kitchen and Bit Part are stand-outs. Evan Dando still plays many of these songs when touring - they're still great! (48 words)

Astonishing that Buckley was labelled a genius after one album containing three songs written solely by him. Yet, they are phenomenal. The changes/lyrics on 'Lover You Should Have Come Over' and 'The Last Goodbye' are breathtaking. Initially this album sounds screechy and disjointed. By the third listen you're utterly sold.

Made during 'The Capital Years', if you could buy one Sinatra album this is the one. The arrangements are delightful, Nelson Riddle's production bang on the money, and the musicianship supreme. Sinatra is at is confident, charistmatic best, his timing and breathing are immaculate, and effortlessly so. A command performance. (50 words)

An amazing album (released in 2000) from the former Whiskeytown frontman. This mostly acoustic album is full of beautiful, bittersweet break-up songs. Standouts include Winding Wheel and Amy. We saw him live in early 2001 (Leicester Y-Club) and he played for for over 3 hours - dedicated to his art! (50 words)

Considered the most influential jazz album of all time. Why? Because the songs are sweet: harmoniously disharmonious. Because Davis'/Coltrane's/Adderley's/Evans' playing sings out at you. Moreover, because of its perfect simplicity. It's not the only great jazz album, but buy it first. Then see where that takes you. (47 words)

A silly, fun record for those whose rebellion stretched to the lengths of 'killing their television'. The NADs had 2 bass players and 2 fantastic albums of indie-pogo-tunes. This was their first album and is great! Grey Cell Green, Your Complex and much more (of the same). (47 words)

There's not a bad song on this, the best album released by James. Despite its 1992 vintage, the songs have not dated at all - 'Sometimes' is beautiful. Other stand-outs include Say Something and Out To Get You. Despite dodgy, flowery, baggy T-Shirts, James helped define the early 1990s! (49 words)

The greatest best-of album ever made. With classics like Famous Blue Raincoat, The Partisan, Suzanne and Sisters Of Mercy, it is beautiful from start to finish. Without doubt this is the perfect intro to L Cohen's many, varied and patchy albums (albeit, it was released before Everybody Knows!). (48 words)

An old-timey album of the indie-rock variety. The Frank & Walters brought us this classic album in the early 1990's and it still sounds great. Standout songs include 'Trainspotters' (an ode to those whose lives great ambition can be fulfilled), and the fantastic 'John & Sue'. Uplifting stuff! (48 words)

A little known Hawaiin singer whose version of Over the Rainbow has been used a lot recently. It is absolutely haunting. The quality of his voice and the emotion behind the songs make this an album you can't just drop into, you have to sit and savour every track. (49 words)
