10-DAY MUSIC CHALLENGE - Day One: my 10 favourite albums

This list will, I'm sure, be in a continual state of flux. At the moment these are the albums that I'd say are my 10 favourites.

1. A Short Album About Love - The Divine Comedy


The greatest album of all time? Funny, sad, catchy and brilliantly orchestrated.

2. Different Class - Pulp


A mirror to 90s' Britain. Perfect songwriting.

3. Bat Out of Hell - Meat Loaf


Still Mr. Loaf's greatest moment. A perfect set of songs written by Jim

4. New Blood - Peter Gabriel


Orchestral re-imaginings of Peter Gabriel's greatest hits - simply stunning.



5. Symphony No. 3 - Gorecki


Tragic and atmospheric - slow-moving and emotional.

6. Cosmic Thing - The B-52s


Just great fun.



7. Moulin Rouge - Original soundtrack


Surely the greatest soundtrack album ever?

8. The Seldom Seen Kid - Elbow


A brilliantly crafted set of songs - more than just One Day Like This.

9. Strike - The Baseballs


Great upbeat rock and roll covers of pop songs.

10. Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends - Coldplay


Yes, yes, everyone hates Coldplay and they're really boring.... well, sorry, I quite like them and I particularly like this album.
