Thanks to a combination of staff discount whilst working in a record shop, student loans, and cheap prices on the internet, I currently own well over a hundred albums (most of which I consider to have been worth the money!). Listed below, in order of importance, are what I consider to be must-owns:

1. Radiohead - The Bends     [Amazon.co.uk]
2. Radiohead - OK Computer     [Amazon.co.uk]
3. Mansun - Attack of the Grey Lantern     [Amazon.co.uk]
4. Embrace - The Good Will Out     [Amazon.co.uk]
5. Paloalto - Heroes and Villains     [Amazon.co.uk]
6. The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses     [Amazon.co.uk]
7. The Bluetones - Expecting to Fly     [Amazon.co.uk]
8. Doves - Last Broadcast     [Amazon.co.uk]
9. Guns 'N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction     [Amazon.co.uk]
10. Green Day - Dookie     [Amazon.co.uk]
11. Pulp - A Different Class     [Amazon.co.uk]
12. Linkin Park - Meteora     [Amazon.co.uk]
13. Puressence - Only Forever     [Amazon.co.uk]

At some point, I'll write something about each album, explaining why I consider it to be worth owning. For now, you'll just have to trust me (or follow the links to Amazon.co.uk, where you can find a bunch of reviews for each, and usually some sound clips).
