Yesterday i got of my tight-fisted arse and spent £50 on 5 albums which were:<br>The Strokes>Is this it<br>Muse>Origin of Symmetry<br>The White Stripes>White blood cells<br>Cypress Hill>Stoned Raiders<br>and *says under his breathe* Unkle Kracker(hes Kid Rocks DJ and i thought it would be good)<br><br>I have come to the conclusion that the White Stripes album is my favorite of the year followed by The Strokes, i enjoyed Muse but t'was very short. What other albums are worth buying?

[mnky]

white stripes then strokes then muse. sounds decent enough order to me. haven't taken time to sit down and listen to the white stripes sutff i've got [kind courtesy of monsieur dr].<br><br>other decen albums i've got this year: ben folds, spiritualised, also apparantly seafood's latest is quite good.  xfm's listeners voted it on it's shortlist for there favourite album of the year. the last one i heard was pretty good. very catchy. similarly,<br><br>avalanches. v good indeed. keep you going for a while<br>sfa keep you going for a little less time but equally very good. <br>zero 7dont buy it !:) about two good songs. doesnt really go anywhere.<br>mercury rev some real corkers but the mediocre tracks let it down.  kinda similar to spiritualised in that respect.

5 albums for £50 ? where was this?<br>at HMV in newcastle on friday i bought 3 albums and it came to £47  >:(<br>

[Everlast]

Virgin Megastores if you have one in Newcastle there doing like 2 for £22 or 5 for £50 and all the titles are pretty new as well. I also bought Green Day today and they're singles are all brilliant, so much better than Blink 182, Wheatus and Bloodhoung gang, but the Bloodhound Gang are wicked

Album that sounds like each song could be a single = ash - free all angels<br><br>Album that can be played very loud = daft punk - discovery<br><br>Album for sleeping to = Spiritualized - let it come down<br><br>Album to play air guitar to = Muse - Origin of Symmetry<br><br>Album to not listen to and throw in the bin = Embrace - if Youve Never Been

Some of my favourites are:<br><br>My Vitriol - Finelines: can't remember whether this was out in 2000 or 2001 but its still a bloody fantastic album.<br><br>The Strokes - Is This It: Doesn't quite justify the massive hype but nonetheless a decent debut.<br><br>Ooberman - Running Girl: Mini album from Bradford's finest, not many people know about this band but this cd - aswell as their debut "the magic treehouse" - are both stunning.<br><br>Ash - Free All Albums: Pure class. Amazing live too.<br><br>Kings Of Conveniece - Quiet Is The New Loud: A class cd. Two blokes + two acoustic guitars = fantastic, mellow songs.<br>

I'm just chuckling away at "Free all albums" by Ash - I think you had 'albums' on the brain!

this year i liked stereophonics JEEP and as a debut album starsailors is brilliant lets hope they keep it up. anyone know when/if toploader or coldplay are releasing albums?

[Uglybob]

well i hope toploader dont<br>im waiting for oasis

[Ionic_Storm]

Is it just me who doesn't buy albums? I download them, and burn them onto CD, print out the cover on glossy paper (if i'm feeling good ) and voila.

[Sam]

Toploaders last one was good I thought.  Coldplays is alright but a bit boring, you have to be in the right mood (ie - a depressed one.)

[Uglybob]

well i still buy albums cos they take too long on a 56k modem but i download singles so i havent bought a single since manic street preachers released those 2 singles in the same week.

[DJ_LeBret]

do best of... 's count?<br><br>cos if so you've surley all over looked  'the very best of bananarama' featuring such gems as 'it aint what you do', 'robert De Niro's waiting', 'help' and <br><br>cummon baby set me free... cos im guilty (guilty)<br>of love in the first degree<br><br> <br>

[gem]

Well I got Bueatiful South for Christmas and am off to buy Strokes, Staind and White Stripes.<br>I brought my mother te Robbie Williams Cd and am now seriously regretting it!<br><br><br>What else do you recommend?

[Lawrie]

gem- buy "finelines" by my vitriol, they are really good rock band with a great album and some serious anthems on it and i agree with who ever said how good it is, they are a  seriously underated band<br><br><br>C.O.R: crowd surfing anthem of 2001<br>

[jonlopez]

My favourite album has to be Linkin Park-Hybrid Theory. An album I can listen to all the way through, and the words are really cool. DumDums album is also pucker and i even liked Craig Davids album :-X....all abums suitable for the car

[Ionic_Storm]

Linkin Park's album is very good, but it's all over with in half an hour which is a shame.

[a_girl_from_mars]

A brilliant album is Loss by Mull Historical Society.<br>Other good albums: muse-origin of symmetry, travis- invisible band, strokes-is this it, starsailor- love is here(?)

[Sam]

The dum dums rocked but they've split now.  :'(

They are also fantastic live, I saw them play twice this year; once while they supported Feeder in Brum and again when they played in Wolverhampton.<br><br>

[wannabe_mrs_moyles]

ash is my favourite, and greenday international superhits is very good and um...er...ok ok ok britney spears, i've been singing along to that for a few days. oooh nooo

[jupiterlove]

[Lawrie]

i know i keep mentioning this but "junction 36" a cd of leeds groups which only costs "£3.99" is the best complilation as it has 2 quality cds of good music ranging from dance to stoner rock so its a quality cd for a good cause a local hospice in leeds<br><br>amazing value
