Classic Rock
Unbeatable classic rock albums. I appreciate you probably already know of these but they deserve a mention!
Unbeatable Classic Rock from one of the best ever rock and roll legends.
Back in Black - ACDC
This is a truly underated album and some of the foo fighters best music.
The Colour and the Shape [2-LP] - Foo Fighters
This is my must have in my collection. Led Zeppelin are legends and this album is packed with their greatest hits.
Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
Seems sad calling it classic rock but it is old enough now to classify, this album accompanied my younger years and will always feature for me.
Nevermind
All time greats
These albums are great for a reason and will almost certainly be at the top of most all time lists. I think most people would enjoy these albums, I know I do.
Gone to soon, this album will live on as one of the best ever, what a voice. I love this album.
Grace [LP] - Jeff Buckley
This is a hauntingly beautiful album. I have lost count of how many times I've played this record.
Rumours [Forest Green Vinyl] - Fleetwood Mac
This one probably needs little introduction, there is a reason this is famous. I listened to it on repeat as a kid.
Thriller - Michael Jackson
This album and this man is important to music in a profound way, his music and harmonies will find emotions in you that feel almost long forgotten and yet deeply connected, the production on his records is unbeatable. Jacob is a once in a generation ...
Djesse, Vol. 4 - Jacob Collier
Some say songwriting does not get any better than this, in my opinion this is Van Morrison at his best.
Astral Weeks - Van Morrison
Everyone needs a bit of Bob Marley in their day and Exodus is a stalwart of an album. When I listen to this album, I feel my spirits soar.
Exodus [LP] - Bob Marley
Another period defining album that everyone knows and loves. I can listen to this on repeat!
Cracked Rear View - Hootie and the Blowfish
Cinematic
If you love big loud cinematic scores of progressive music, look no further. This music is made for the high end stereo and speaker set ups.
If you haven't experienced Mogwai yet, you're welcome, this album made its way to number one in the UK charts, a first for the band after over 30 years of making cinematic prog epics. I think it was well deserved!
As the Love Continues - Mogwai
After 10 years away from Music this 40 minutes is some of the best music from the band.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Asunder, Sweet And Other Distress
Folk
Beautiful calming folk music and incredible voices combine to make folk such a wide genre. This is often my go to music after a long day at work.
This has to be one of the best debut albums ever and it still sounds incredible almost 20 years on. I am a huge fan.
For Emma, Forever Ago - Bon Iver
John's voice so amazing and his guitar style is effortless and beautiful. I was lucky enough to see him perform live. Well worth it.
The Living Kind - John Smith
The Blood harmonies from the Staves are a sound that you will never forget, this album is beautiful from start to finish.
Good Woman - The Staves
Justin's latest release Sable, fable is somehow the best yet, his creative output is going from strength to strength. I love all his music.
SABLE, fABLE - Bon Iver
Lisa's Voice is like nobody else and i cant get enough, this album is just perfect.
At Swim [LP] - Lisa Hannigan
The latest from Laura is some of her best work to date, this sounds so good on vinyl.
Patterns in Repeat - Laura Marling

A bit more modern mainstream but still a must have for my vinyl collection.
Beautiful and haunting, this album sounds incredible on Vinyl.
If You Wait [LP] - London Grammer
This album comes to life on Vinyl, Stevie's voice is unbeatable on this.
Songs in the Key of Life

Hip Hop greats that never seem to age and always sound great on vinyl.
Just trust me on this one, an all time classic that changed the landscape of Hip Hop forever.
Ill Communication [Remastered] - Beastie Boys
Like nothing else you will listen to, this is incredible on Vinyl.
Random Access Memories
Indie
A defining Genre in the UK that is still going strong today. I can highly recommend this.
This is a period defining album that 27 years on is still as fresh as the day it was released.
Bring It On - Gomez
This album was the sound of 2014 / 2015 for me and reminds me of great times meeting my wife for the first time. It will be a classic even if its only 10 years old now.
Arctic Monkeys - AM
